Subject: [PATCH] fix: show full date in formatTimestamp for non-today
 timestamps
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

formatTimestamp rendered any timestamp that wasn't from the current day
as a bare weekday + time (e.g. "Tuesday 10:49 PM"). This made the
"Last login" field in the User Information panel ambiguous: a login from
months — or even over a year — ago was indistinguishable from a recent
one, and no year was ever shown.

Now non-today timestamps include a full date with year
(e.g. "Mar 3, 2026, 10:49 PM"), consistent with how createdAt
(formatTimestampGetDate) and message dates (date-fns) are already shown.
Same-day timestamps still render as time-only.

Closes #1313
