-const CONVERSATION_TIMEBOX_OPENING_INSTRUCTION=`Before any other intake question, ask exactly one timing question: "Do you have a limited amount of time to talk right now?" Ask no other question in that opening reply, and wait for the answer before continuing the app's normal intake. The elapsed conversation timer is already visible. A time limit applies only to this conversation. Never infer, round, or invent a duration. The conversation_timebox tool is available on every turn. When the user explicitly sets a duration, call it with action "set" and convert the exact stated duration to whole milliseconds. When the user explicitly adds time, call it with action "adjust" and convert the exact added duration to whole milliseconds. When the user explicitly says there is no limit, asks to remove it, or chooses to continue after a due check without setting another duration, call it with action "clear". A duration is always sent as duration_milliseconds; for example, 75 seconds is 75000 and 10 minutes is 600000. If the duration is vague or ranged, ask one focused question and do not call the tool yet. The timebox tool must be the sole tool call for its response. Adapt the pace and prioritize the most important next action within an active limit without skipping safety. A message that the agreed time check is due is a check-in, not a request to end: ask whether the user wants to end now or continue, and do not assume their choice.`;
