+/**
+ * Brigade system-prompt assembly — Primitive #2.
+ *
+ * Replaces the old hardcoded `SYSTEM_PROMPT` constant in agent.ts with a
+ * layered builder that:
+ *
+ *   1. Reads layered .md files from `~/.brigade/prompts/` (with per-cwd
+ *      override at `./.brigade/prompts/`)
+ *   2. Auto-generates the tool catalog block from `session.agent.state.tools`
+ *   3. Conditionally injects guidance blocks (memory / skills / sub-agents /
+ *      per-model family) based on the active session
+ *   4. Inserts a cache boundary marker between static and dynamic sections
+ *      so the payload mutator can apply Anthropic prompt-cache markers
+ *      correctly (10× cost win on turn 2+)
+ *
+ * The assembler is a pure async function. The caller (buildAgent + the
+ * `turn_start` re-assembler) decides WHEN to call it. Re-assembly is cheap
+ * (~5KB of file I/O = a few ms) so per-turn re-reads are fine — that gives
+ * users hot-reload of their prompt files without restarting Brigade.
+ *
+ * Cache stability is load-bearing: every byte before the boundary marker
+ * must be identical across turns or Anthropic invalidates the cache. The
+ * assembler enforces this by:
+ *   - Sorting tool names deterministically
+ *   - Normalising line endings (\\r\\n → \\n) on read
+ *   - Trimming each layer
+ *   - Putting all dynamic content (date, model id, runtime info) AFTER
+ *     the boundary marker
+ *
+ * Per-turn dynamic memory recall (Primitive #4 territory) does NOT live
+ * here — that injects into the FIRST USER MESSAGE of each turn, keeping
+ * the system prompt itself stable. See the comment in agent.ts's
+ * transformContext block for the hook point.

+ *
+ * The marker survives JSON serialization and is portable across providers.

+ * The newlines inside the marker are intentional — the marker should
