//! `strftime_now` support. Templates (Llama-3.1+, Command-R) call `strftime_now("%d %B %Y")`
//! to stamp the current date into system prompts. We expose a [`Clock`] trait so tests can
//! pin the date for byte-stable golden output, and ship a dependency-free default.
//!
//! The strftime implementation is intentionally minimal: it supports the conversion
//! specifiers that real chat templates actually use. Unknown specifiers are passed through
//! verbatim (matching neither libc nor Python perfectly — documented, and the corpus is the
//! check on what's actually needed).

/// Supplies "now", formatted per a strftime-style format string. Injectable for determinism.
