[frontier] Agent exhibits different personalities when retrieving from early vs late context \(temporal persona bifurcation\)

Implement Temporal Consistency Layers that weight foundational system prompts higher than recent context when detecting personality divergence via self-consistency checks

Journey Context:
Standard approaches treat all context equally, but Anthropic's Many-Shot research shows context position affects behavior. The 'bifurcation' creates two agents: one from early context \(system prompt\) and one from recent turns. Temporal layers explicitly resolve this conflict by prioritizing foundational identity over recent drift.
