Conversation
Add [skills] system_dir alongside dir so shipped skills (repo mount) and per-agent installs stay separate. Catalog renders System/User subsections; skill_install targets the user root only.
Put identity/core.md in every rebuilt system message, add prompts/agent.md as the personal overlay, treat system.md as the shared rulebook, and keep journals/meta as searchable memories only. Ships migration 002 for existing agents.

Always load the embedded system rulebook and refuse memory-tool mutations to it. Soften migration 002 to only seed prompts/agent.md. Keep identity/overlay intact for existing agents; never truncate identity; preserve subagent SystemPromptOverride across rebuilds; fail closed on system/user skill name collisions.
