Commit timezone consistent with stated geography

Evidence summary #

Jito Labs is a US-incorporated company. Both founders have US-based backgrounds: Lucas Bruder (CMU, Pittsburgh/SF area, prior US employers), Zano Sherwani (George Mason University, Virginia; Amazon AWS US). No commit timezone analysis performed programmatically (non-EVM tooling gap), but no DPRK timezone anomaly has been reported in any security research and the team's real-name doxxed status with verifiable US-based prior employment is a strong mitigant against DPRK UTC+9 pattern. Confidence: medium due to absence of automated analysis.
