Fix Gantt view "Error invalid date" on running DagRun

[alamashir]

Summary

Fixes #64599

The Gantt chart's x-axis scale min/max calculation used new Date().getTime() to parse date strings. Since transformGanttData outputs ISO strings via dayjs().toISOString(), this worked in most cases, but new Date() parsing is not guaranteed by the ECMAScript spec for all formats and can return NaN in edge cases, crashing Chart.js's time scale with "Error invalid date".

Changes

• Replace new Date(...).getTime() with dayjs(...).valueOf() in the x-axis scale min and max calculations for consistent, reliable date parsing
• Add unit tests for createChartOptions scale calculations (completed tasks, running tasks, empty data fallback) and transformGanttData (null start_date filtering, running task end time, null group dates, ISO string validity)

Test plan

• All 186 existing UI tests pass
• 7 new unit tests added and passing
• Manual verification: trigger a DAG run, open grid view, enable "Show Gantt" while the run is still in progress — should render without error
• Manual verification: Gantt chart for completed DagRuns still works correctly
• Manual verification: tooltip shows correct start/end dates and duration

Seems like you missed manual testing in the pr description. Please confirm if manual verification was completed.

PR description doesn't match the actual diff

The description claims five changes, but the diff only modifies 4 lines in utils.ts (swapping new Date().getTime() → dayjs().valueOf()) plus a new test file. Three of the listed changes are not part of this PR — they already exist on main:

• Store raw ISO date strings from the API in the data array instead of pre-formatted display strings — formatting now only happens at display time (tooltips, tick labels)
• Skip tasks/groups where start_date is null (task hasn't started, no meaningful bar to show)
• Handle running groups by using current time as end date when max_end_date is null

transformGanttData on main already:

• Outputs ISO strings via dayjs(...).toISOString() (not pre-formatted display strings)
• Filters out tasks with null start_date (.filter((tryInstance) => tryInstance.start_date !== null))
• Returns undefined for groups where min_start_date === null || max_end_date === null

The only actual changes in this PR are:

1. Replacing new Date(...).getTime() with dayjs(...).valueOf() in the x-axis scale min/max calculations
2. Adding unit tests

Could you update the description to accurately reflect what this PR changes?

Also noting the inconsistent null handling between the two scale blocks — in the max calculation you use dayjs(item.x[1] ?? undefined) but in the min calculation you use dayjs(item.x[1]) without the fallback. This should be consistent.
