/**
 * prompt.mjs — persona-aware system-prompt builder.
 *
 * Composes the final system prompt at session start:
 *
 *   [identity_section]      // "You ARE {persona.name}" — IDENTITY FIRST
 *   [shared_context]        // dateTime + authenticated identity (if any)
 *   [persona.prompt]        // mars or venus persona body
 *   [live_context]          // result of buildMarsContext / buildVenusContext
 *   [tool_table]            // names of allow-listed tools available this session
 *   [rules]                 // shared rules across personas
 *
 * "Identity-first" is the v0.8.1 production lesson: putting "You are Mars"
 * BEFORE any context keeps the model from drifting into a generic-assistant
 * voice mid-conversation.
 *
 * Sanitization: see `sanitizeForRealtime()` below — strips Unicode that the
 * OpenAI Realtime API has historically struggled with (em dashes, smart
 * quotes, arrows). Always runs over the assembled prompt.
