From f1dbe6eaa923af3c368dfbfc55621aa98fb895f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: garrytan-agents Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 15:08:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20gbrain-context=20OpenClaw=20context=20e?= =?UTF-8?q?ngine=20=E2=80=94=20deterministic=20temporal/spatial=20injectio?= =?UTF-8?q?n?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds a context engine plugin that runs on every assemble() call to inject structured live context into the system prompt: - Garry's current local time (computed from heartbeat-state.json timezone) - Current location (city + timezone from heartbeat or flight data) - Home time when traveling (e.g. 'Mon 7:58 AM PT') - Active travel status - Quiet hours detection - Airport→timezone mapping for 30+ airports This kills the 'time warp' bug class where compacted sessions lose track of time/location. The engine delegates compaction to the legacy runtime and only owns systemPromptAddition injection. Zero LLM calls, <5ms.
