`context_loader.py` assembles the system prompt from these files in order. The resulting prompt is passed to whichever LLM backend handles the request.
### System Block
Before any persona files, `context_loader.py` prepends a `--- System ---` block with per-request metadata:
```
--- System ---
Current date and time: Friday, 2026-05-09 at 02:34 PM EDT
Current mode: Off The Record — this conversation is private and will not be logged or included in memory distillation
```
The **date/time line** is always present (unless the role has `inject_datetime: false`).
The **mode line** is only added when the session is Off The Record — normal Chat mode adds nothing, so the block stays minimal. This mirrors the same principle as the mode indicator in the UI: only signal when something non-default is in effect.
