 # @poncho-ai/harness
 
+## 0.47.0

+### Minor Changes
+
+- [#120](https://github.com/cesr/poncho-ai/pull/120) [`6cda4ab`](https://github.com/cesr/poncho-ai/commit/6cda4ab39865d89590f42927e281c5fb58cc99f4) Thanks [@cesr](https://github.com/cesr)! - harness: always inject the current hour into the system prompt
+
+  The dynamic system-prompt builder now emits
+  `Current UTC time (hour precision): Mon 2026-05-20T09Z` on every run,
+  not just when a `reminderStore` is configured. Knowing "what day is it"
+  is universally useful — drafting messages, computing relative dates,
+  deciding whether a stale memory still applies — and isn't specific to
+  reminder-firing logic.
+
+  Format also drops the zeroed-out minutes/seconds tail (`T09:00:00.000Z`
+  → `T09Z`) so the hour quantization is visible to the model rather than
+  hidden behind noise. The prompt-cache properties are unchanged: the
+  string is still hour-stable and lives in the dynamic prompt section, so
+  hourly rollovers don't bust the static cache breakpoint.
