//! Persona tool — wraps `PersonaApi` behind the `AgentTool` interface.
//!
//! Provides agents with persona management capabilities.
//! Actions: list, get, set_active, create, update.
//!
//! Agent-authored `create`/`update` runs through an LLM security review that
//! treats the candidate persona (especially its `system_prompt`) as untrusted
//! data and blocks prompt-injection / jailbreak attempts before the write is
//! committed. Every successful write publishes a [`KernelEvent`] so the user is
//! notified via the Notification Center.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```json
//! { "action": "list" }
//! { "action": "get", "id": "persona-id" }
//! { "action": "set_active", "id": "persona-id" }
//! { "action": "create", "name": "QA", "role": "qa", "description": "...", "system_prompt": "..." }
//! { "action": "update", "id": "persona-id", "system_prompt": "..." }
//! ```
