Subject: [PATCH] Fix date filters broken by Blade HTML-encoding of operators

Filter codes containing >= or <= operators were being HTML-encoded
by Blade's {{ }} syntax (e.g. >= became &gt;=), causing a mismatch
between the Livewire wire:model binding key and the PHP lookup key.
This made all date filters with comparison operators silently fail.

Operators are now mapped to safe aliases (gte, lte, gt, lt) in the
filter code while keeping the actual SQL operator unchanged.
