Teknium 0426bb745f fix: reset default SOUL.md to baseline identity text (#3159)
The default SOUL.md seeded for new users should match
DEFAULT_AGENT_IDENTITY — a short, neutral identity paragraph.
The elaborate voice spec (avoid lists, dialogue examples, symbol
conventions) was never intended as the default for all users.

Users who want a custom persona write their own SOUL.md.
