The WidgetTimeProvider plumbed a server timestamp and the container's
timezone down to useWidgetNow so clock widgets would paint a real time in
the SSR HTML instead of "--:--". That traded a cosmetic first-paint win for
a wrong clock: the seeded timezone is the server's, so anyone whose timezone
differs from the container's saw an incorrect time for the whole hydration
window. Fixing that properly needs a client-set timezone cookie read during
RSC render, which is far more plumbing than the problem warrants.
Revert the clock to release/v2 behaviour ("--:--" until hydration) and drop
the provider, the @homarr/widgets/time export and their tests. The e2e clock
assertions now wait on hydration explicitly instead of the seeded paint.
Also restore the widget.beszel.getSystemStats persistence exclusion. #6289
added it deliberately to keep those large time-series payloads out of the
persisted cache, and this branch had removed it with no stated rationale.
Query-cache persistence and the background-refresh indicator are unchanged.
