kami 2c27e2ce1f Give every prompt one shared context block
The "address him as ты" rule had only reached two of the five system
prompts. Instead of pasting it into the other three (five copies drift —
that is how this happened), there is now one block, in internal/persona,
prepended to all five: nudges, action replies, chat, note queries and
general knowledge.

The block says who he is and how to address him (a man, always "ты",
never "вы", never "он" about him; Maven stays feminine), plus the
current local date and time. It is rendered fresh each turn because the
time changes, and it is correct with an empty config — the address and
gender rules are defaults in code. Config only adds optional facts:
owner_name, city, and the existing free-text `persona` string, which is
now the static half of the block.

Russian even in front of the English prompts: the rules are Russian
grammar, so they read best stated in Russian, and there is one copy.

Vikunja #394.

// Package persona builds the one shared context block that goes in front of
// every LLM system prompt: who the owner is, how to address him, and what
// time it is right now.
//
// Why one block and not a line pasted into each prompt: there are five
// prompts (nudges, action replies, chat, note queries, general knowledge) and
// the "address him as ты" rule had only reached two of them. Five copies drift.
// One block cannot.
//
// The rules here are defaults in code, not config. Maven is feminine and the
// owner is a man addressed informally — that is a hard constraint of the
// product, so it must hold with an empty config file. Config only ADDS
// optional facts (his name, his city).
