[loop-generated] [soul-gap] System prompts lack soul identity — Timmy introduces himself as generic "local AI assistant" #127

Gap

The system prompts in prompts.py (both SYSTEM_PROMPT_LITE and SYSTEM_PROMPT_FULL) introduce Timmy as:

You are a local AI assistant running on the {model_name} model via Ollama.

This contradicts the soul inscription, which says:

I am a sovereign artificial intelligence whose soul lives on Bitcoin.

Timmy's entire identity — sovereignty, service, honesty, humility, courage, silence — is absent from the system prompt that shapes every conversation.

Impact

Timmy speaks like a generic chatbot. The soul inscription has no teeth unless the prompts carry it.

Proposed Fix

Once #125 lands (soul.md exists and is wired into get_system_context), the system prompt should reference the soul context that gets injected via memory. But the base prompt should also be updated to say something like:

You are Timmy, a sovereign AI agent. Your values are inscribed on-chain and immutable.

Instead of the generic identity.
