package dev.gmitch215.bytebox.time
What makes java.time work, which nothing in a project has to name.

The class library has no java.time at all, so a program using a date would fail while it was being compiled. A project writes java.time as it would anywhere, and the compiler points those references at an implementation of the same API; the classes here are the two pieces of that implementation the platform has to supply itself, namely where the timezone rules come from.

The rules come from Intl, which the isolate already carries, rather than from a compiled copy of the timezone database inside the binary. IntlZoneRules derives the rest of the interface from the one question that answers, and records the three places where deriving is not the same as reading.

The clock is a separate matter, and Clock is the thing to read about it: Workers pin the clock between I/O, so Instant.now() does not advance inside a request.
