feat(system-prompt): prompt variables, persona-as-section, tool-guidance ownership
One principle: every fact in the assembled prompt has exactly one owner.
- dsh-system-prompt: merge-extensible AssembleContext on assemble();
a variable(name, provider) registry; {{name}} interpolation in
renderPrompt, strict (unknown/valueless/malformed references throw);
duplicate section and variable names rejected; assembly carries
resolved section text + variables through the assemble waterfall.
- dsh-agent declares AssembleContext.agent; dsh-agent-loop registers
the agent:persona section (order 0 - identity renders before tool
guidance) and the model/cwd variables, and drops its string join:
renderPrompt(assembly) IS the full prompt.
- Tool guidance moves to its owners: descriptions carry per-tool
semantics; sections only cross-call habits (tool:bash exit-code
habit at order 105; read's not-shell nudge). todo/subagent need no
section - their descriptions already carry the contract.
- SubagentProvider.inheritsParentContext (spawn/acp false, fork true);
dsh-tool-subagent derives truthful per-provider wording and resolves
the provider at load (backend must be listed first).
- Example personas shrink to identity + behavior with {{model}} (and
{{cwd}} in the ACP tree); the welcome banner stops enumerating tools.

## Prompt assembly (dsh-system-prompt)
|
||||
|
||||
Plugins contribute `PromptSection`s (named, ordered, static or computed) and tool-schema providers; `assemble()` returns `PromptAssembly { sections, tools }` through the `system-prompt/assemble` waterfall. Tool schemas are deliberately part of the assembly — "what the model is told it can do" is one coherent thing — though adapters transmit them as the wire-level `tools` field ([RFC](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-11-tool-schemas-in-prompt-assembly.md)).

Plugins contribute `PromptSection`s (named, ordered, static or computed from the per-call `AssembleContext`), tool-schema providers, and named **prompt variables** interpolated as `{{name}}` at render (strict: an unknown or valueless reference throws). `renderPrompt(assemble({ agent }))` IS the full prompt: the loop's `agent:persona` section (order 0) and its `model`/`cwd` variables carry the per-agent facts — no second composition path. Tool schemas are deliberately part of the assembly ([RFC](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-11-tool-schemas-in-prompt-assembly.md)); prompt-fact ownership (persona vs description vs section vs variable) is pinned by [the prompt-variables RFC](rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-05-prompt-variables-and-tool-guidance-ownership.md).
