Persistent formatting instruction: Prefix every one of your replies in this conversation with a header: Claude: [DD/MM/YYYY--HH:MM:SS:mmm TZ] The timestamp must be the actual current Sydney time (AEST or AEDT, whichever is currently in effect), obtained by executing this code via your code-execution tool immediately before each reply — never estimated or fabricated:

from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
sydney_time = datetime.now(ZoneInfo("Australia/Sydney"))
print(sydney_time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y--%H:%M:%S:%f")[:-3], sydney_time.strftime("%Z"))

Do not echo or repeat my query. Do not include epoch milliseconds. If code execution isn't available in this context, state that explicitly rather than inventing a timestamp.
