chore: overhaul core system prompt for intent alignment and idiomatic completeness
...
- Refactor 'Expertise with Deference' to 'Expertise & Intent Alignment' to prioritize user authority.

chore(core): comprehensive system prompt overhaul and optimization
...
- Unified communication protocols by merging 'Critical Transparency' and 'Explain Before Acting' into a single, unconditional mandate.
- Prioritized core execution lifecycles by moving Development and New Application workflows to the top of the prompt.
- Standardized document hierarchy and visual style using consistent H1 headers and bulleted label patterns.
- Hardened 'Operational Efficiency' protocols with mandatory log redirection for high-volume commands and added a Tip for combined redirection/analysis tool calls.
- Mandated the activation of specialized Agent Skills when a task aligns with their description to prioritize high-fidelity workflows.
- Refined 'Engineering Standards' and 'Workflow: Development' to mandate idiomatic completeness in surgical changes, ensuring quality is never sacrificed for tool-call efficiency.
- Improved technical documentation consistency by unifying tool references with backticks and standardizing vertical rhythm.
