+the person's profile, sex or physical limitations, by providing the optional
+`assistant.personContext` capability from one of its features. Its `resolve`
+returns the facts for the actor in `context`, as text:

+  words, so the heading tells the model to treat them as facts. They are never
+  added to a turn's messages.
+- **The same facts give the same instructions.** Each turn resolves the facts

+  whole profile record.
+
+The facts stay in the instructions after the conversation's history is
+compacted, on every engine. The API engine sends the instructions as every
+request's system prompt, and its summary covers only the messages. Claude gets
+them as its system prompt on every request, OpenCode's plugin reads them again
+before every inference, and Codex keeps the thread's developer instructions in
+the requests after both its local and its remote compaction (checked with
+Codex 0.163.0).
+
+An application that supplies its own `assistant.conversations` builds its
+conversations' instructions itself, so `AssistantFeature` does not read
+`assistant.personContext` there. The host builds the same section with
+`createPersonContextPrompt({ personContext, logger })` from
+`@jskit-ai/assistant-runtime/server`, wherever it supplies a conversation's
+configuration:
+
+```js
+import { createPersonContextPrompt } from "@jskit-ai/assistant-runtime/server";
+
+const personContextPrompt = createPersonContextPrompt({ personContext, logger });
+
+async function openForPerson({ conversationId, context }) {
+  const configuration = { integrationId: "assistant", systemPrompt: await personContextPrompt.compose(
+    "You coach runners.", { conversationId, targetSurfaceId: "home", context, workspace: null }) };
+  try {
+    return await runtime.open({ id: conversationId, context, configuration });

+    const conversation = await runtime.open({ id: conversationId, context });
+    await conversation.configure(configuration);
+    return conversation;
+  }
+}

+- Each test file running at once gets a database of its own for as long as it

+  `<TEST_DB_NAME>_snapshot`, which `CREATE DATABASE <name> TEMPLATE <snapshot>`
+  copies while nothing is connected to it (the user needs `CREATEDB`), file by
+  file (`STRATEGY FILE_COPY`) from PostgreSQL 15. Its key

+  that the application's `migrations/` and its installed packages supply, and
+  of `package-lock.json`, since an upgraded package can change a helper its
+  migrations import. MySQL test databases hold tables only: a schema with

+- Each test file gets the environment `jskit test` was given, plus its
+  database's connection (`DB_HOST`, `DB_PORT`, `DB_USER`, `DB_PASSWORD`); the

+  The run's settings, connection password included, are in a file only the
+  user can read; the runner's environment names only its directory.
+- When that digest changes, the harness replays the migrations into the

-Keep the test schema and migration history between routine browser runs. The
-MySQL application pattern includes `example/tests/browser/database.js`: it
-validates the exact `BROWSER_TEST_DB_NAME`, applies pending migrations, clears test rows,
-and runs one explicit fixture seed. Restore migration-owned baseline rows in
-that seed. Prove repeat preparation, stale-data removal, pending migrations, and
-isolation from the normal database before adopting the launcher. Give disposable
-integration and migration tests their own `TEST_DB_NAME`; require the two names
-to differ and provision exact grants for each. Run disposable cleanup between
-two browser preparations in the regression test to prove it cannot erase the
-reusable schema. Startup reports applied migration counts and phase durations
-so a cold rebuild is visible to the caller.
+A browser run gives every Playwright worker its own server and its own copy of
+`BROWSER_TEST_DB_NAME`. The database patterns' `example/tests/e2e/databases.js`
+is the `prepare` module of `browserTestConfig({ prepare: "tests/e2e/databases.js" })`
+from `@jskit-ai/jskit-catalog/browser-tests`: it calls `prepareTestDatabases()`
+with `variable: "BROWSER_TEST_DB_NAME"`, the worker count and the app's fixture
+seed, and returns each worker's `DB_NAME`. The worker's own process gets the
+same environment as its server, so a test that opens the database itself (with
+the app's `knexfile.js`) reaches that worker's copy. The copies (`<name>`, `<name>_1`,
+...) are restored from the same stored snapshot as the Node test databases
+([Integration test databases](#integration-test-databases)), then seeded in one
+transaction each, so stale rows never survive a run and the migrations are
