Monitor Schedule tab — day selection broken

Version: 2026.7.17.35

OS/Timezone: Windows, Eastern Time (UTC−4, currently EDT)

Description:

The Schedule tab on Monitor entries has several related issues with day selection:

Selecting a single day and saving sometimes returns a "you must select a day" error, as if the selection isn't being read correctly.

When a single day does save, returning to the monitor often shows an additional adjacent day has been added.

Unticking a day sometimes unticks other unrelated days simultaneously.

If you remove the phantom extra day added in #2, you're back to the error in #1.

The net result is that it's impossible to reliably constrain a monitor to a single day.

Suspected cause: The day selection logic may be storing or validating selections in UTC rather than local time, causing off-by-one day errors depending on the user's UTC offset. The adjacent-day drift is not consistent (sometimes before, sometimes after the selected day), which could indicate the offset is being applied in different directions at different points in the save/load cycle.

Why this matters: The Monitor is preferable to the Scheduler for live streams because it starts recording when the stream actually goes live and stops when it ends, rather than requiring a fixed duration. The Schedule tab on the Monitor is the only way to avoid polling every 30 seconds around the clock for a stream that only airs on a specific day.
