Report #102811

[frontier] Agent's persona fades and defaults to a generic helpful-assistant register as the conversation grows

Append a compact persona/identity reinforcement message after the conversation history right before generation, and use assistant-prefill to force the first tokens into the desired register. Combine with periodic re-injection rather than relying on a single system prompt at the top of a long context

Journey Context:
Transformers have strong recency bias, so instructions at the end of context get more attention than those buried far back. The role-play community and production tools have demonstrated that response prefill bypasses RLHF conditioning at response initiation. This is especially effective for long character sessions and applies to coding agents that must maintain a specific tone or review style
