Don't we have to attach CurrentTimeCommunicator to the static class? I am familiar with this type of usage await ctxt.invoke(PlaidPayments).paymentWebhook(webhook, session_id, notification, client_ref); where paymentWebhook is a communicator defined in PlaidPayments

Could you please explain the suggestion a bit more.

Sorry, it is just my misunderstanding: I didn't realize we could call invoke on a class (here CurrentTimeCommunicator) different than the workflow's. Or at least, I assume this the case here, i.e., the line above is called from a Workflow belonging to a static class different than CurrentTimeCommunicator.
Is that correct?

So the context provides invoke... which will use the class type (CurrentTimeCommunicator is a class with static methods) to in turn produce another type that provides functions to call. It can do this with any class.
Yes, you'd be using some other workflow method, probably originating from a decorated class static method, but it could be through a call chain also...
