Research direction

Start by tracing the provider.getBlock('latest') entry point and how block.timestamp is used for the caveat. The issue provides no file, test, scenario, or acceptance criteria, so first identify the relevant code and expected behavior with a maintainer; done means the caveat uses the latest block timestamp and its behavior is covered by the appropriate test.
