+
+## Pillar XIX: Sovereign Identity Synthesis
+*   **SOUL.md Behavioral OS**: The framework now generates a persistent, evolving identity file that captures user-specific interaction patterns and preferences.
+*   **Instruction Hierarchy Hegemony**: `SOUL.md` now sits at the absolute top of the Source of Truth, ensuring personalized directives override framework defaults.
+*   **Pillar Evolution**: Integrated v8.1 "Intelligence Mirroring" heuristics to adapt agent personality based on historical execution sentiment.
