I feel the single mention of `currentDateTime` against a large number of date mentions (I counted six) in the system prompt gets it confused sometimes when it comes to dates. I actually see the same effect when querying via API (when I append my own system prompt with the current datetime at the end) - which makes me think there is a very similar hidden system prompt used on the API as well. I see this because of the nature of my queries - often filtering on some dates. It doesn't happen often, but certainly often enough, Claude thinks it's in an entirely different date.
