[Bug]: Regex in Postman collection rejects valid ISO-8601 timestamps

Description

I'm working on a Rust implementation of the backend spec, and I'm using time 0.2 for timestamps such as the createdAt timestamps of Articles.

The RFC 3339 (subset of ISO 8601) formatter included with time 0.2 produces timestamps like this: 2021-12-14T03:09:36+00:00

This is a valid ISO 8601 timestamp and can be parsed using, e.g. Javascript's Date.parse() just fine, but it gets rejected by the regex used in the Postman collection here:

↳ Create Article
  POST http://localhost:8080/api/articles [200 OK, 450B, 15ms]
  ✓  Response contains "article" property
  ✓  Article has "title" property
  ✓  Article has "slug" property
  ✓  Article has "body" property
  ✓  Article has "createdAt" property
  7. Article's "createdAt" property is an ISO 8601 timestamp
  ✓  Article has "updatedAt" property
  8. Article's "updatedAt" property is an ISO 8601 timestamp
  ✓  Article has "description" property
  ✓  Article has "tagList" property
  ✓  Article's "tagList" property is an Array
  ✓  Article has "author" property
  ✓  Article has "favorited" property
  ✓  Article has "favoritesCount" property
  ✓  favoritesCount is an integer

I'm not sure the regex being used is entirely correct here:

realworld/api/Conduit.postman_collection.json

Line 332 in 6e73f5e

" tests['Article\\'s \"createdAt\" property is an ISO 8601 timestamp'] = /^\\d{4,}-[01]\\d-[0-3]\\dT[0-2]\\d:[0-5]\\d:[0-5]\\d.\\d+(?:[+-][0-2]\\d:[0-5]\\d|Z)$/.test(article.createdAt);",

Unescaped version:

^\d{4,}-[01]\d-[0-3]\dT[0-2]\d:[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d.\d+(?:[+-][0-2]\d:[0-5]\d|Z)$

It appears to require a decimal subsecond segment but matches on the decimal separator using an unescaped . which matches any single character instead of an escaped \. matching a literal dot. If I tweak the regex to fix this and make the subsecond fragment optional, my timestamp passes:

^\d{4,}-[01]\d-[0-3]\dT[0-2]\d:[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d(\.\d+)?(?:[+-][0-2]\d:[0-5]\d|Z)$
