[frontier] Agent adopts the user's tone and biases, losing its original persona over a long conversation

Implement Persona Isolation Summaries: at regular intervals, run a background process to summarize the conversation, explicitly instructing the summarizer to strip user tone/style and retain only factual state, then replace the history with this summary.

Journey Context:
LLMs are next-token predictors; if a user is sarcastic for 30 turns, the agent drifts to sarcasm. Standard summarization carries the tone over, accelerating persona bleed. By explicitly filtering the user's stylistic footprint during context compression, you prevent the agent from modeling the user's persona instead of its own.
