Your agents know what day it is

No agent on any surface was told the date. Each one fell back on a guess from its training data and stated it with complete confidence. The problem was never that it could not find out, since a sandboxed agent can run date -u. The problem was that it never thought to ask.

All four agent surfaces now open with the current UTC timestamp: the agentic run, both engagements of the agent watching a codified run, the interview, and the reviser that rewrites your procedure.

The timestamp rides in the first message rather than in the agent's instructions. Instructions have to rebuild identically when a run resumes, and a run can sit on an approval for days, so a date baked in there would come back stale and be wrong with exactly the same confidence as before.

Scheduled runs also learn which occurrence they are serving. A cron fire now carries the time it fired, so an agent can read it and a codified step can select it. Before this a scheduled run received an empty payload and could not tell one Monday morning from another.
