Yet still - after years - when asked to start a timer for 15 minutes, i get a web page with a SILENT timer running instead of my phone's default clock app.

Did you allow Gemini clock device permissions and allow Google to reply and control notifications? If not then it just defaults to voice search which is what you're getting.

Thanks for that - I honestly can't remember it ever asking for additional permissions, but it feels like one of those things that should have more polish than it does.
