I've asked this before but assuming Beagle 2 is "alive", does it "know"
it's night (using a light sensor, for instance) or is it still running
on a clock?

IIRC it determines day from night by the fact that the solar panels
receive power from daylight, starting up transmission mode. I assume it's
better to speak about "should have determined... if it would have
received....". Alas.
