CLI uses time value from app instead of --enddate

[reynoldsnlp]

Summary

When I run sudo /Applications/SelfControl.app/Contents/MacOS/selfcontrol-cli --uid 502 start --blocklist /Users/rob/scripts/blocklist.selfcontrol --enddate 2024-01-19T15:22:00 (and many variations on the timestamp format, always generated by python as a future time), the block always uses the time value from the GUI app's settings instead of the provided --enddate. If I change the value in the app, and then run the CLI command, it uses the changed time from the app.

Background Info

SelfControl version? 4.0.2
macOS version? 12.6.5
Do you use a VPN/proxy, and if so which one? no
Has this ever worked for you on a prior version of SelfControl? If so, when? no, this is my first try
Any other special system setup we should know about? no

What Should Have Happened?

More useful output if timestamp fails to parse and perhaps better documentation on the CLI wiki.
