Subject: [PATCH] Set timezone when app is installed regardless of path

Remove the installer-path exclusion when initializing the application timezone. If the installed flag file exists, the app timezone is now applied (from settings) even on installer/update routes so notifications created during upgrades use the correct timezone. UTC remains the fallback when settings or the database are unavailable, and UTC is used when the app is not installed.
