## What changed
- Default the current-time reminder and interruptible `clock.sleep` tool on for
turns using persistent reasoning effort.
- Preserve explicit `features.current_time_reminder` settings and managed
requirements, and gate reminder recording on the resolved feature state.
## Testing
- Cover configured, persistent, ordinary-effort, explicitly disabled, and
managed-disabled clock setups.
- Verify review turns do not expose clock tools or current-time reminders.

## Summary
- track user-like input and tool-output boundaries in current-time
reminder state
- gate reminder injection when delivery_mode is
after_user_or_tool_output
- preserve interval debounce and forced reminders after context-window
changes
## Why
Training can request reminders only after user or tool-output items
while keeping the existing canonical pre-inference history-injection
path.
## Validation
- just test -p codex-core
current_time_reminders_can_follow_only_user_or_tool_outputs
- just test -p codex-core
current_time_reminders_follow_time_interval_and_persist_in_history
- just test -p codex-core
current_time_reminder_is_refreshed_after_compaction
- just fix -p codex-core
A zero interval lets callers request a reminder at every
otherwise-eligible inference boundary.
## Validation
- just test -p codex-core load_config_resolves_current_time_reminder
## Summary
- rename `reminder_interval_model_requests` to
`reminder_interval_seconds`
- read the configured time provider before every model request and
inject a reminder only after the configured number of seconds has
elapsed
- preserve immediate first delivery and forced delivery after compaction
changes the context window
## Tests
- `just test -p codex-core current_time_reminder`
Stacked on #28822.
## Summary
- add a host-injectable current-time provider with a built-in system
implementation
- record UTC developer reminders in history immediately before due model
requests
- keep cadence state per session and force a refresh after compaction
This does NOT include the app server client <-> server clock logic. This
PR is only for the reminder message & system clock that will be used in
prod.
## Testing
- `just test -p codex-core varlatency_`
- `just clippy -p codex-core -p codex-app-server -p codex-mcp-server -p
codex-thread-manager-sample`
- `just fmt`
