"""Time helpers.

`datetime.utcnow()` is deprecated on Python 3.12+. This helper preserves the
existing *naive UTC* semantics the codebase relies on (DB columns are naive
`DateTime`, and comparisons assume naive UTC) while avoiding the deprecation:
we build an aware UTC datetime and strip the tzinfo, yielding the exact same
value `datetime.utcnow()` used to return.
