"""Locked system-prompt builder (PLAN §6). The persona + HONESTY GATE text is **locked verbatim** — change it through the plan, not here. (PLAN §6 revision, 2026-08-22: the owner's working-tree persona edits are preserved — no mandated ``"you've got this"`` tagline and no mandated deflection opening; the honesty gate itself is unchanged.) Two modes: * ``HIGH`` — grounded turn: full top-document texts under ````. * ``LOW`` — deflection turn: weak-hit *titles only* plus the ``DEFLECT_MODE`` marker (the E2E mock LLM keys on that marker). Steering (phase 15): when the owner has stored tuning notes, both modes carry a ```` section between ``…`` and the mode body. With zero notes the prompt is byte-identical to the pre-steering text.
