fix(hitl): add date field guidance and DevCon vendor approval test

[dushyant-uipath]

Summary

• hitl-node-quickform.md — adds Date field notes block documenting ISO 8601 format requirement, the design-time "Invalid time value" rendering limitation, and the rule to coerce to YYYY-MM-DD string before binding
• e2e_08_vendor_approval_devcon.yaml — new E2E test mirroring the DevCon vendor onboarding demo: risk-based routing (switch), multiple HITL reviewers, vague prompt that agent must interpret

Test plan

• CI passes on this branch
• Verify e2e_08 runs cleanly in skills test harness

Summary

Adds a 5-line "Date field notes" block to the HITL QuickForm reference documenting ISO 8601 format requirements and a design-time rendering quirk, plus a new E2E test (e2e_08) modeling the DevCon vendor onboarding demo with risk-based routing and multiple HITL reviewers.

Change-by-Change Review

1. skills/uipath-human-in-the-loop/references/hitl-node-quickform.md (+5 lines)

Severity: Low

The date field notes are accurate and well-placed between "Supported field types" and "Design rules." The "Invalid time value" callout is valuable — it prevents agents from debugging a non-issue at design time.

Minor token-optimization nit (lines 66–67): the phrase "is a known rendering limitation" could be compressed per .claude/rules/token-optimization.md. For example:

- **"Invalid time value" at design time** — known rendering limitation. When `binding` is a JS expression …

This is cosmetic — the current wording is clear and not bloated.

2. tests/tasks/uipath-human-in-the-loop/e2e_08_vendor_approval_devcon.yaml (new, +118 lines)

Severity: OK

Well-structured test. Specifics:

• task_id: skill-hitl-e2e-vendor-approval-devcon — matches skill-<domain>-<capability> pattern. ✓
• tags: [uipath-human-in-the-loop, e2e, green-field, vendor-approval, risk-routing, devcon] — skill name first, valid test type second, descriptive tags after. Matches convention from e2e_01 through e2e_07. ✓
• initial_prompt: Describes the business goal without prescribing steps. Intentionally vague to test skill guidance. ✓
• success_criteria: 7 checks covering validation, node type presence, switch routing, handle wiring, report.json structure, and command execution. Comprehensive. ✓
• sandbox/agent config: driver: tempdir, python: {}, max_turns: 75, turn_timeout: 1200 — matches existing e2e conventions. ✓
• No secrets or personal paths. ✓

What's Missing

Nothing identified.

Area Ratings

Area	Status	Notes
Frontmatter	N/A	No SKILL.md changes
E2E Tests	OK	New e2e test follows conventions; smoke/e2e coverage already exists
Skill Body	N/A	No SKILL.md changes
References & Assets	OK	Date field notes are accurate and well-placed
Repo Hygiene	OK	CODEOWNERS present, no secrets, changes scoped to HITL skill

Issues for Manual Review

• Domain accuracy: the claim that non-ISO date formats "will not parse" and that "Invalid time value" is strictly display-only — worth confirming against the current Maestro runtime, as behavior could differ across versions.

Conclusion

Clean PR. Both changes are well-scoped, follow existing conventions, and add genuine value (preventing a common date-field confusion, and adding coverage for the flagship DevCon scenario). No blocking issues. The single Low finding on prose compression is optional.
