/**
* Converts a datetime-local input value (local time, no timezone info)
* to a UTC ISO string for server submission.
*
* `datetime-local` inputs use the format "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM" and do NOT accept
* ISO strings with a timezone designator (e.g. "2026-03-11T17:00:00.000Z").
* Setting an ISO UTC string directly on a datetime-local input causes the browser
* to silently clear the field value. Use this function with a separate hidden input
* to hold the converted UTC value before form submission.
*
* Returns null when value is empty, nullish, or not a valid date.
*
* NOTE: The returned ISO string (e.g. "2026-03-11T17:00:00.000Z") is intentionally
* incompatible with datetime-local inputs, which only accept "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM".
* Setting a Z-suffixed string on a datetime-local input causes browsers to silently
* clear the field. Always write the result to a separate hidden input, not back to
* the datetime-local input itself.
