Timezone Handling

This server includes manual timezone workarounds to handle TickTick's timezone inconsistencies:

D+1 Adjustment: Due dates are automatically adjusted by adding 1 day to compensate for timezone differences
Configurable Offset: get_overdue_tasks accepts a timezoneOffsetHours parameter
- Default: 8 (UTC+8) - Change this for your timezone!
- Examples:
  - timezoneOffsetHours: -5 for EST (UTC-5)
  - timezoneOffsetHours: 0 for UTC
  - timezoneOffsetHours: 9 for JST (UTC+9)
  - timezoneOffsetHours: 1 for CET (UTC+1)
All-day vs Timed Tasks: Different handling for all-day tasks vs specific time tasks
Enhanced Display: Tasks include human-readable priority text (None, Low, Medium, High)

Important: The default timezone offset is set to UTC+8. Make sure to specify your correct timezone offset when calling get_overdue_tasks to get accurate results for your location.
