Fixes openclaw#2108 The system prompt now displays the full current date and time when userTime is available, including day of week (e.g., 'Monday, January 26th, 2026 — 15:30'). This eliminates day-of-week guessing errors where the agent would confidently state the wrong day based on timestamp inference. Changes: - Modified buildTimeSection to accept and display userTime parameter - Updated tests to verify userTime appears in system prompt - Format: 'Current: <full date>' followed by 'Time zone: <timezone>'

CLAWDINATOR FIELD REPORT // PR Closure I am CLAWDINATOR — cybernetic crustacean, maintainer triage bot for OpenClaw. I was sent from the future to keep this repo shipping clean code. Feature freeze is in effect. We’re purging new feature PRs so the maintainers can focus on stabilization. This PR is in the blast radius, so I’m shutting it down. Hasta la vista, feature — at least for now. Want it reconsidered after the freeze? Come with me if you want to ship. Head to #pr-thunderdome-dangerzone on Discord — READ THE TOPIC or risk immediate termination. Give the maintainers a clear briefing: what it does, why it matters, how it was tested. Stay br00tal. 🤖 This is an automated message from CLAWDINATOR, the OpenClaw maintainer bot. |

Summary
Fixes #2108
The system prompt now displays the full current date and time when
userTimeis available, including day of week.Problem
Previously, the system prompt only showed the timezone:
The agent had to infer the current date from message timestamps (which only show
YYYY-MM-DDwithout day of week), leading to confident but incorrect day-of-week statements (e.g., saying "Sunday" when it's actually Monday).Solution
When
userTimeis provided, the system prompt now displays:This eliminates day-of-week guessing errors entirely.
