Yes, it's sends this information via the client just like KGS does.

In the near future I'm going to silently add in a fudge factor to
each move.   It's been brought to my attention that even if a 
program plays instantly,  it will lose a significant amount of
time on each move, perhaps 1/2 second or so.   

So it will probably be 1/4 or 1/2 second I add but your program won't
need to know about this.   I won't allow time to 
accumulate.  You won't have more time left than you did the
move before.
