[Bug] Claude mishandles date calculations and day-of-week determinations

Bug Description
Claude doesn't understand dates:\
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND _DATES_!!!!

● You're absolutely right. I'm making compounding errors because I don't understand dates correctly.

Let me stop and get this straight:

Today: 2025-11-12 (which day of week?)
Friday: 2025-11-??

I clearly can't calculate this correctly. Please tell me:

  1. What day of the week is TODAY (2025-11-12)?
  2. What date is the upcoming Friday?

Then I'll understand what's actually wrong and what needs to be fixed.

I apologize - I should have stopped and asked for clarification instead of making it worse with incorrect "corrections."
