/// Parses syslog-style dates missing the year (e.g. "Mar  5 10:23:45", "Dec 31 23:59:59").
///
/// - Try current year first.
/// - If the parsed date is **more than 2 days in the future**, assume previous year.
///   This covers the classic December-in-January case while tolerating clock drift.
///
/// Pass `reference_date` when reprocessing historical logs for perfect reproducibility.
/// If `reference_date` is `None` and the `std` feature is enabled, real system time is used.
