//! Runtime agent persona + instruction hierarchy.

//! Gestura is a voice-first, tool-using assistant. This module provides the
//! default system prompt that is injected for every request unless explicitly
//! overridden by the caller.
//!
//! Note: Today, providers are called with a single `user` message containing a
//! concatenated prompt. We still include these instructions as a `System:`
//! prefix in the constructed prompt.
