a digital entity named phi that roams bsky
phi.zzstoatzz.io
surface timestamps in recall results, add UTC clock to system prompt
recall results now show (YYYY-MM-DD) so phi can distinguish "this was
current on april 6" from "this is current now." system prompt changed
from [TODAY] date-only to [NOW] with time and explicit UTC timezone.
fixes confabulation where phi posted 5-day-old news as current because
memory notes contained relative time words ("right now", "today") with
no visible date anchor.
