 * `ymd` (`yyyy/MM/dd`) IS THE JAPANESE BUSINESS FORM, AND ITS ABSENCE WAS A HOLE WITH NO WAY OUT.
 *
 * The axis shipped three values and none of them said `2026/05/01`: `iso` writes hyphens, and the
 * two slash forms put the day or the month first. A Japanese-first consumer (gino-cloud) therefore
 * wrote its own formatter and marked it an explicit stopgap — the tell that a named axis was
 * missing a value rather than the consumer wanting something exotic, since the only alternative
 * the package left was the thing docs/DATETIME.md rule 1 forbids ("never use date-fns/format,
 * toLocaleString, or raw ISO slices for UI").
 *
 * It sits BEFORE the day/month-first pair because it is the other year-first form, next to `iso`.
