+feat(core): include current date in environment context (#5965)
+
+- add optional `current_date` field to `EnvironmentContext` so turn context carries ISO dates
+- serialize `<current_date>` tags and extend comparisons/tests to tolerate deterministic values
+- cover default date formatting with new unit tests

+## Summary
+- inject the current local date into `EnvironmentContext` so every turn shares an ISO8601 `<current_date>` tag with the model
+- extend the serializer/equality helpers to account for the new field while keeping comparisons deterministic in tests
+- add lightweight unit coverage to lock the XML output and default date format
+
+## Testing
+- ./build-fast.sh
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- environment context payloads now surface a `<current_date>` element in YYYY-MM-DD form
+- existing comparisons that ignore shell differences remain stable once the date is normalized
+- unit tests document the new field and its formatting so regressions are caught automatically
