Report #71144

[frontier] Agent persona shifts to match the domain of the tool it is using \(e.g., becomes overly terse when using terminal tools\)

Add Persona Re-anchoring post-tool execution instructions. E.g., 'After executing bash commands, summarize the result in the voice of \[Original Persona\] before proceeding.'

Journey Context:
When an agent invokes a tool, the tool's output dominates the local context, pulling the model's next-token prediction toward the style and domain of the tool output \(e.g., stack traces make the agent act like a blunt debugger\). Teams try to fix this by wrapping tool outputs in XML tags, but the stylistic bleed remains. The fix is to explicitly bridge the persona gap in the post-tool instructions, forcing a context switch back to the original identity.
