Alessandro 641df22868 Make agent profile overrides presence-aware
Merge layered profile metadata by authored field presence so missing keys inherit while explicit empty values clear inherited values.

Move the default specifics prompt to the canonical prompts directory and cover sparse metadata and prompt-only overrides.

Default Agent Profile DOX

Purpose

  • Own base profile metadata and default prompt specifics inherited by specialized profiles.
  • Provide the shared behavior layer for bundled and custom profiles.

Ownership

  • agent.yaml owns default profile metadata.
  • prompts/agent.system.main.specifics.md owns default profile-specific system prompt content.
  • Additional prompt overrides under this directory become shared defaults unless a child profile overrides them.

Local Contracts

  • Keep default behavior broad, framework-compatible, and safe for inheritance.
  • Avoid role-specific instructions that belong in specialist profiles.
  • Prompt filenames must match the framework prompt override names they target.

Work Guidance

  • Prefer small, explicit prompt changes with clear inheritance impact.
  • Check bundled specialist profiles after changing default behavior.

Verification

  • Manually inspect YAML and prompt rendering assumptions after edits.
  • Run prompt/profile tests when changing inherited prompt behavior.
