📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Warp chat now provides local time context based on the requester’s UTC offset.
    • Date-based requests such as “today” and “yesterday” use local calendar boundaries.
    • Supports named calendar dates and RFC3339 timestamps with improved time-range guidance.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid or missing time-zone offsets safely fall back to UTC.
    • Current time is displayed with the applicable local offset.

Walkthrough

Warp requests now include the asker’s UTC offset. Warp sanitizes and propagates the offset through NewTurn and NewAgent, then uses it to render local time and calendar-boundary guidance in the system prompt.

Changes

Warp local-time context

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local-time prompt behavior
framework/warp/prompt.go, framework/warp/agent_test.go
System instructions distinguish calendar concepts from relative offsets, render the shifted local time, format supported UTC offsets, and fall back to UTC for invalid values. Tests cover these behaviors.
Request offset capture and sanitization
framework/warp/conversation.go, ui/components/warp/useWarpStream.ts, framework/warp/chat.go, framework/warp/chat_test.go
ChatRequest and the Warp stream include utc_offset_minutes. NewTurn sanitizes the value and stores it for the turn. Tests cover valid, invalid, and omitted offsets.
Agent offset propagation
framework/warp/agent.go, framework/warp/chat.go
Agent stores the sanitized offset. RunTurn passes it to NewAgent, which supplies it to systemInstructions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba436

Named-date Warp queries can calculate incorrect calendar boundaries across daylight-saving transitions, returning traffic from the wrong time window. This should be resolved before merge.

Explanation

The description contains only the repository template. It does not explain the UTC-offset changes, affected Go and UI areas, testing performed, breaking-change status, security considerations, or checklist results.

Resolution

Replace the template placeholders with a concrete summary of the UTC-offset feature, list the changed areas, select the applicable change and affected-area types, document test commands and results, state whether the NewAgent signature is a breaking change, address security considerations, add related issues, and complete the checklist.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #123 requires File API support for providers such as OpenAI or Anthropic, including an upload workflow such as POST /v1/files and automated coverage. The reviewed changes add UTC-offset handling to Warp requests, prompts, and UI state. They do not add a Files API endpoint, file-provider integration, upload handling, or related tests.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes implement UTC-offset propagation and local-time prompt behavior in Warp. The changes include UTCOffsetMinutes, offset sanitization, prompt time rendering, UI request fields, and timezone-focused tests. These changes have no demonstrated connection to the directly linked Files API objective in #123.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Send an IANA time zone for named-date queries.

getTimezoneOffset() only describes the offset when the request is sent. It cannot identify the offset for a named date across a daylight-saving transition. For example, a client in America/New_York can send -240 in summer, while January 1 uses -300. Warp then computes the January UTC boundary one hour early and can include or exclude incorrect traffic.

Send an IANA time-zone identifier with the request. Propagate it through ChatRequest, Turn, and Agent. Update the prompt to require the offset that applies on the requested calendar date. Keep the numeric offset as the current-time display value if needed.
