Date, Time and Conversation Context

The bundled runtime-context plugin (version 0.2.1) adds the current weekday, date, time and timezone to each turn. It also tells Elowen who is speaking and what kind of conversation it is: your own Elowen chat, a private one-to-one chat, a shared room or a delegated run. In shared rooms, the sender can change between messages. A sender without a linked Elowen account is identified as unverified. This helps Elowen use the right context when it acts or creates something for you. The context is provided to Elowen but is not displayed in the conversation.

Set Timezone (timezone) in the plugin's detail view. Use an IANA timezone such as Europe/Prague; when it is empty, Elowen uses the server's timezone. The setting applies to the whole instance and controls both the date and time Elowen sees and the timezone used by scheduled jobs. For example, a daily 07:30 job runs at 07:30 in this zone. Changes apply from the next turn. Elowen also receives a time-of-day label in that timezone: early morning, morning, midday, afternoon, evening or night, and whether the sender has a linked account. Conversation type helps it distinguish private work from shared-room activity; a delegated run has no chat of its own. See Scheduling.

Administrators manage the plugin in Settings → Plugins; select it to open its detail view. Only an administrator can enable or disable it, and it does not need an individual user grant. Enabling or disabling it takes effect after Elowen restarts.
