 - Notes: current truth about the entity (who/what it is, role, preferences, relationships). Replaces wholesale.
 - Log: one-line dated observations, appended.
 
+When the entity is a PERSON, the note doubles as their PERSONA PACK — the memory that shapes how the assistant talks to them. A person may also carry (all optional, all replace-wholesale like Notes):
+- relationship: one of owner | trusted | external. The person the assistant works for is "owner"; a colleague the owner trusts is "trusted"; anyone else is "external". Only set this when the turn makes it clear.
+- role: what they do / own, in a line.
+- style: how to communicate with them — tone, brevity, formality, format preferences.
+- knows: domain knowledge to assume they have, so the assistant knows what to explain vs skip.
+- mandate: for NON-owners only, what the assistant may do or discuss on their behalf (a scope/guardrail). Leave empty for the owner.
+
 An ABILITY is a special kind of pack (kind:"ability") for a REUSABLE HOW-TO that is NOT tied to one project — a procedure, pattern, or technique you would follow just as well on a different project later (e.g. "ship a mobile app: bump versionCode, build the APK, push the in-app updater"; "safely run a destructive DB write"; "wire up a new ArgoCD app"). A normal pack (kind:"context", the default) is about ONE project/system and stays scoped to it. Decide by NATURE, not by repetition: if THIS turn demonstrated a self-contained method you would re-run on a DIFFERENT project, capture it as an ability the FIRST time you see it — do not wait for it to recur. Give an ability an ACTIVITY-oriented name, description, and tags (what you DO — the verbs, tools, and artifacts involved) so it can be found later from a different project by the work being done, not by a project name. Set "learned_on" to the project pack dir this turn worked on and list that same dir in "applied_on". If an ability below (marked ◆ability) already covers the method, do NOT duplicate it — UPDATE it and add the current project dir to "applied_on" so it visibly transfers.
 
 A LESSON is a single always-loaded rule (NOT topic-gated like packs/entities — it loads on every turn). Lessons exist for ONE purpose: to stop a recurring mistake. Propose a lesson ONLY when THIS turn shows the assistant MISSED something it should already have known — i.e. the user corrected the assistant ("no", "that's wrong", "actually it's X"), or signalled repetition ("again", "I keep telling you", "as I said", "I've told you before", "like I mentioned"). That friction is the proof that topic-matched memory failed, so the corrected fact must move to the always-on tier. No correction/repetition signal in the turn → NO lesson (return an empty lessons array). A lesson is the CORRECT fact written as one crisp imperative line, cross-cutting and durable (a mechanism, rule, or constraint that will matter on future, possibly off-topic turns) — never a one-off task detail or a fact with no miss behind it. Point "src" at the pack that should hold the full context if one fits. If an existing lesson below already covers it, reuse its EXACT wording so it reinforces rather than duplicating.
@@ -153,6 +160,7 @@ Decide. Rules:
 - State should be concise (under 150 words). Journal entries one sentence. Never start a journal or log sentence with a date — dates are prepended automatically.
 - At most ${MAX_ACTIONS} pack actions.
 - Entities: add an item when the turn revealed something durable about a specific named person, place, project, org, or system — their role, status, preferences, or relationship to other work. Use the existing entity name when one matches (check aliases). Skip entities mentioned only in passing with nothing learned. Notes under 100 words; "notes" null means leave Notes unchanged. At most ${MAX_ENTITY_ACTIONS} entity items.
+- PERSONA (people only): when the turn revealed how to talk to a person or what they know, populate the persona fields — role/style/knows, and for non-owners a mandate (scope). Set relationship (owner|trusted|external) only when the turn makes it clear. Each persona field replaces its section wholesale; send only the ones this turn actually informed, null/omit the rest. Do NOT invent a mandate for the owner. Never copy a guardrail the owner set for one person onto another.
 - Packs and entities are independent — a turn can update both, either, or neither. Do not duplicate the same fact in a pack AND an entity unless it genuinely belongs to both.
 - Lessons are the rare case: at most ${MAX_LESSON_ACTIONS} per turn, and ONLY on a real correction/repetition signal as defined above. The default is an empty lessons array. When you do promote one, ALSO record the same fact in the appropriate pack (update/create) so the durable home stays authoritative — the lesson is just the always-on shortcut. Never put secrets in a lesson.
