services::conversation_to_preview stored last_activity as seconds-since-epoch, but format_relative_time / format_date in islands/mod.rs expect milliseconds. The seconds-value looks like a timestamp ~54 years in the past, so days > 7 is always true and the code takes the format_date(timestamp) branch, which then formats a seconds-value as ms and renders something near the Unix epoch.

Similar issue in chatmessage_to_messagedata — msg.created_at (secs) was passed through as timestamp without conversion.

Fix: multiply by 1000 at both conversion sites.
