feat: free-text timestamps instead of datetime pickers

Users wanted to type things like "unbekannt" or comments for the date
fields. Start/End are now plain text inputs (max 120 chars) and are
stored/displayed verbatim - no Date parsing, no formatting. Existing
records that contain ISO strings keep working: they render exactly as
stored and refill the edit form unchanged. Also removes a duplicated
block in setup() that had slipped in earlier (double reload/flash).

Verified: node --check, no datetime-local/Date-parsing remnants,
crypto roundtrip with free-text and legacy ISO timestamps, pytest 3/3.
