Bumped to minor (not patch) because the corrected behavior changes how naive ISO strings (no `Z`, no offset) are interpreted on non-UTC hosts — see *Breaking change* below. The shift was invisible on UTC hosts (the default for `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet` and almost every Linux container) and only surfaced once the same image ran somewhere with `TZ` set to anything else — a Windows dev box, a Kubernetes pod with `TZ` overridden, or a non-UTC CI runner — at which point stored values diverged from the JSON the caller sent by the host's offset. + +## Fix: datetime parsers are now host-TZ-independent + +`TryParseTimestamp`, `TryParseTimestampTz`, `TryParseTime`, and `TryParseTimeTz` in `NpgsqlRest/ParameterParsers.cs` all relied on the parameter-less `DateTime.TryParse(value)` overload. That overload's default `DateTimeStyles.None` converts offset-bearing strings to the host's local TZ and tags the result `Kind=Local`. The two `*Tz` parsers then called `DateTime.SpecifyKind(v, DateTimeKind.Utc)` on the local-shifted value — but `SpecifyKind` only relabels the kind, it does not convert. The result was a host-local wall-clock value labelled UTC, written to Postgres with a silent shift. + +The `timestamp` and `time` parsers used the same buggy parse and sent the local-shifted value directly to Npgsql, which transmits the wall-clock verbatim for a `without time zone` column — the same silent shift, same size as the host's offset. + +All four parsers now use: + +```csharp +DateTime.TryParse( + value, + CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, + DateTimeStyles.AssumeUniversal | DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal, + out var v) +``` + +- `AssumeUniversal` treats naive ISO strings (no `Z`, no offset) as UTC — the canonical JSON-over-HTTP convention. +- `AdjustToUniversal` converts any `Z`-bearing or offset-bearing value to UTC. + +The result is a `DateTime` with `Kind=Utc` carrying the true UTC instant regardless of the host's TZ. The `*Tz` parsers use it directly. The `without time zone` parsers strip the kind back to `Unspecified` so Npgsql sends the UTC clock-time as the naive wall-clock value, matching the column semantics. + +## Why this was hidden so long + +Almost every production container runs `TZ=UTC` by default. On a UTC host, `DateTime.TryParse(...)`'s local-conversion is a no-op and the `SpecifyKind(Utc)` "lie" coincidentally matches reality. The bug only manifests once the same code is deployed where `TZ` is anything else. The first symptom is usually a downstream report along the lines of "we send `2026-05-20T06:00:00Z` and Postgres stored `08:00`" — which is exactly the host's UTC offset. + +The existing `MultiParamsTests2` / `MultiParamsQueryStringTests2` test pairs already hinted at this — both used `Should().Match(t => t == "12:06:59..." || t == "11:06:59...")` style assertions with a comment that read *"integration server seems to have a different datetime alltogether"*. That was the bug, papered over. After this fix both tests assert single deterministic values. + +## `TryParseDate` left alone + +`DateOnly.TryParse` rejects `Z`- and offset-bearing strings outright (verified across `UTC`, `America/Los_Angeles`, `Europe/Zagreb`, `Pacific/Auckland`) — it does not silently shift, so the `date` parser was not affected by the host-TZ bug class. It was however a separate papercut: callers sending full ISO timestamps (e.g. `"2026-05-20T03:00:00Z"`) to a `date` column got a flat parse failure. `TryParseDate` now falls back to a `DateTime` parse and extracts the date portion when `DateOnly.TryParse` rejects the input, honoring the same `JsonTimestampsAreUtc` semantic as the other datetime parsers (UTC date when the flag is true, host-local date when false). + +## Breaking change + +JSON timestamps are now interpreted as **UTC**: + +- `Z`-suffixed and offset-bearing ISO strings are converted to UTC. +- Naive ISO strings (no offset, no `Z`) are **assumed UTC** rather than interpreted as host-local time. + +Callers who relied on the previous "JSON is host-local" behavior — usually by accident, because the host happened to be UTC — will see no change. Callers who sent `Z` strings expecting UTC were silently broken on non-UTC hosts and are now correct. + +## Opt-out: `NpgsqlRestOptions.JsonTimestampsAreUtc` + +Users whose downstream code genuinely depends on the legacy "naive timestamps are host-local" behavior — and who cannot update those callers to send `Z`-suffixed values — can restore the pre-3.16.0 behavior by setting `JsonTimestampsAreUtc` to `false`: + +- **Library:** `new NpgsqlRestOptions { JsonTimestampsAreUtc = false, ... }`. +- **Client (`appsettings.json`):** `"NpgsqlRest": { "JsonTimestampsAreUtc": false }` (default is `true`). + +When false, the four parsers fall back to the bare `DateTime.TryParse(value)` overload — `Z`/offset strings get host-local-converted and tagged `Kind=Local`, naive strings get parsed as `Kind=Unspecified`, and the `*Tz` parsers re-apply `SpecifyKind(Utc)` on top. That reproduces the exact pre-3.16.0 code path. Note that this is **not recommended** for new deployments: it puts you back in the bug class the rest of this release fixes. The flag exists purely as a compatibility escape hatch. + +## Tests + +New file `NpgsqlRestTests/HostTimeZoneIndependenceTests.cs` covers all four parsers via echo functions and `json_build_object` round-trips: + +- `timestamptz` with `Z` suffix, with numeric offset, and naive (assumed UTC) +- `timestamp` with `Z` suffix (stored as naive UTC clock-time) +- `timetz` with `Z` suffix (round-trips as UTC) +- `time` with `Z` suffix (UTC clock-time extracted) + +Each assertion is exact — no host-TZ-tolerant ORs. The fixture forces the database to UTC at creation (`alter database … set timezone to 'UTC'`), so the assertions stay deterministic across runners.
