Deep research generated search queries from the LLM's training-cutoff knowledge, so it emitted stale-year queries like "best Python tutorials 2025" when the actual year is later (issue #1341). The chat/agent path already grounds the model with "Today is ..." (src/agent_loop.py); the deep research planning and query-generation prompts had no equivalent. Add a small current_date_context() helper and prepend it at the plan and query-generation prompt sites (and the research_handler plan preview path that reuses RESEARCH_PLAN_PROMPT). System-TZ local, portable strftime. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

"""Regression tests for issue #1341 — deep research used the model's
|
|
training-cutoff year (e.g. "best Python tutorials 2025") because the
|
|
query-generation and planning prompts never told the LLM the current date.
|
|
|
|
The chat/agent path already injects "Today is ..." (src/agent_loop.py); deep
|
|
research had no equivalent. These tests pin that the current year now reaches
|
|
the LLM at both the planning and query-generation steps, without needing a live
|
|
LLM or DB.
