Claude Time-Travel Client
==========================
A custom Claude client that provides tools which execute LOCALLY
inside the sandboxed VM. When Claude wants to check the date, browse
the web, or run commands, everything goes through the fake 2010
environment.
Tools provided to Claude:
- get_current_time: returns the (faked) system time
- web_fetch: fetches a URL using curl (routed through Wayback proxy)
- web_search: searches via a search engine (routed through Wayback)
- run_command: executes a shell command locally
