//! The voice seam. A user-editable style file (`~/.mars/persona.md`) rides
//! into VOICE tasks (ask, watch) as the FINAL system message, wrapped in a
//! compiled precedence preamble — style can color prose but can never
//! override the directive protocol or output-format rules above it. FORMAT
//! tasks (translate, naming, mission, cursor-insert) never see it: their
//! output is machine-parsed, and mission text is re-ingested into prompts.
//!
//! Semantics of the file (documented in the seeded default): absent → the
//! shipped product voice applies; empty/whitespace → persona off; else the
//! contents, per-line redacted and hard-capped. Hot-read on every prompt
//! assembly (the denylist pattern) — edits apply to the next reply.
