Struct Timestamp 

pub struct Timestamp(/* private fields */);

A wall-clock moment, RFC 3339 on request via std::fmt::Display.

Never a monotonic instant and never a raw SystemTime on the surface. Supersession arbitrates entirely on Generation, never on this, so a clock that jumps backwards is not guarded against here.

Implementations

impl Timestamp

pub fn now() -> Self

The current wall-clock time.

pub fn elapsed(&self) -> Duration

How long ago this timestamp was, against the wall clock right now.

A future self, the shape a backward clock jump leaves behind, has no negative Duration to report, so this reads zero rather than erring: a reader sees “just now” with no defensive clamp layered on top.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Timestamp

fn clone(&self) -> Timestamp

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for Timestamp

impl Debug for Timestamp

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Timestamp

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats as RFC 3339 (2026-08-30T12:34:56Z), computed by hand: the dependency allowlist has no time crate to reach for.

impl Eq for Timestamp
