//! The block of text a run is given beyond its own instructions.
//!
//! Three things go in, and each earns its place by answering a question the run cannot answer for
//! itself: *what have we learned that applies to you*, *what is already known so do not say it
//! again*, and *how do you tell us when you are stuck*.
//!
//! # Why this is generated rather than written into every prompt
//!
//! It changes per run. Learnings arrive, lapse and are revoked; the already-captured list depends
//! on what is live right now. Baking any of it into an agent's prompt file would make the file
//! wrong the moment the factory learned something, and nobody would notice.
