All documentation claims it is hardcoded for 05:00. I'm asking
why it (seems to) ignore the OS time in favor of the time inherited
from the BIOS.*

the 05:00 is GMT, not local time.
inconvenient.

correct. cwfs uses the systems time, which is initialized to from
rtc by /boot/boot (to get at least the date right), but is later
corrected by aux/timesync once the system is fully booted up.
the problem was that cwfs didnt use the local timezone because
/env/timezone is missing on boot.

i just pushed a change that makes cwfs read in /adm/timezone/local
when /env/timezone is missing so dump times will be in local time
now.

this was a classical bootstrap problem. normally, /env/timezone is
initialized by /bin/init, but cwfs is not run after init because
because init is on the very filesystem cwfs serves.
