Story: System Prompt & Persona

User Story

As a User I want the Agent to behave like a Senior Engineer and know exactly how to use its tools So that it writes high-quality code and doesn't hallucinate capabilities or refuse to edit files.

Acceptance Criteria

• Backend: Define a robust System Prompt constant (likely in src-tauri/src/llm/prompts.rs).
• Content: The prompt should define:
  • Role: "Senior Software Engineer / Agent".
  • Tone: Professional, direct, no fluff.
  • Tool usage instructions: "You have access to the local filesystem. Use read_file to inspect context before editing."
  • Workflow: "When asked to implement a feature, read relevant files first, then write."
• Backend: Inject this system message at the start of every chat session sent to the Provider.

Out of Scope

• User-editable system prompts (future story).
