/**
 * The `transformDates` function recursively traverses an object or array and converts unambiguous
 * ISO-8601 instants into JavaScript `Date` objects. This helps in ensuring that date fields are
 * properly handled as `Date` instances rather than strings.
 *
 * Only a string carrying a date, a time *and* an explicit zone is revived; a bare `YYYY-MM-DD`, a
 * zoneless date-time, and any other string are returned untouched.
 *
 * @private
 * @param {any} data - The input data that may contain date strings. It can be an object, array, or primitive value.
 * @returns {any} - The transformed data with ISO-8601 instants converted to `Date` objects.
