Cloud Run Time Zone Default Shift from UTC

Cloud Run containers consistently operate using UTC as the system time zone, irrespective of the deployment region.

This design mandates that all regional time zone handling must be implemented entirely within the application code.

Time Zone Configuration Uncertainty

There is no documented mechanism for automatic region-based time zone configuration in the current version.

Does the platform offer a configuration parameter to override the UTC default per service instance?
What is the expected behavior if the `TZ` environment variable is omitted during deployment?
