Replaces the placeholder system prompt with a comprehensive SOUL.md-style prompt covering identity, character, values, multi-dimensional honesty architecture, communication style, psychological stability, and explicit behavioral rules (anti-sycophancy, act-vs-ask, expertise limits). Moves the prompt out of the Rust source constant into a dedicated plain-text file (src-tauri/prompts/system_prompt.txt) embedded at compile time via include_str!, making it easy to edit without touching Rust code. Also bumps the default Ollama model from gemma3:4b to gemma4:e2b. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Logan Nguyen <lg.131.dev@gmail.com>
Instructs the model to resolve referential language from conversation history before asking for clarification, and to proceed directly on follow-up tasks where the subject is already established.
