📋 Description

The current implementation uses moment, a library that is outdated and large (≈4.35MB).
We only use a limited subset of its functionality, which makes its heavy size unnecessary.
We propose replacing it with dayjs, a modern alternative that is:
- Lightweight (~670KB)
- Well-maintained
- Widely adopted (24M+ weekly downloads)
- API-compatible with moment for most common use cases.

✅ Acceptance Criteria

Locate all instances where moment is imported and used.
Replace them with equivalent dayjs functionality.
Ensure that ProxymanLogV2 files exported using moment can still be correctly opened and parsed using dayjs.
Rebuild and package the app to verify:
- The application functions correctly with dayjs.
- The final app bundle size is reduced.

📦 Expected Outcome

Improved performance and reduced bundle size.
Future-proofed codebase by removing deprecated dependencies.
