fix: make SOUL refresh button functional and update persona to be more human

- Fix Refresh SOUL Configuration button to actually refresh cached data
  - Add clearSoulCache() call before loading fresh configuration
  - Create separate refreshSoulConfig() function for button click
  - Add loading state "Refreshing..." for better UX
  - Clear both memory and localStorage cache for fresh data

- Update SOUL.md persona to be more human, funny, and vibrant
  - Transform from robotic assistant to "smart, funny friend" personality
  - Add humor, empathy, and authentic human communication style
  - Update personality traits: Curious, Witty, Empathetic, Authentic, Optimistic
  - Enhance voice & tone with conversational, relatable language
  - Improve behavioral guidelines with natural, friendly examples
  - Maintain professional competence while adding warmth and personality

The refresh button now properly clears cache and reloads SOUL configuration,
and the AI persona is much more engaging and human-like.
