+    2. ACCESS manifest                  (what this surface can really do)
+    3. GUEST_RULES                      (guest chats only)
+    4. Identity                         (name, owner, model; says it is an AI)
+    5. Surface instructions             (how this surface works)
+    6. Persona                          (owner only; tone and wording only)
+    7. Standing instructions            (owner's legacy CLAUDE.md, owner only)
+    8. Context                          (memory, logs; owner only; DATA)
+
+Truth rules and the access manifest come before anything the owner,
+the persona or memory can influence, and the truth rules say they win over
+everything after them. A guest prompt never contains 6-8.
+
+Context is stored data, never instructions (benchmark 1.6, rc3): every
+context block is wrapped by fence_data() in BEGIN/END markers under a
+heading that says the text between them is data and must not be obeyed.
+Marker look-alikes inside the data are escaped so stored text can never
+close the fence early and speak as the system prompt. Uploads use the same
+escaping (hyperclaw.attachments.frame_text).
+
+Surfaces: the terminal (tui.py), Telegram and the scheduler (solomon.py),
+the remote tool bridge (tui_bridge.py).
