Make OpenAI-compat and Ollama engine streaming truly async (#626)

The OpenAI-compat and Ollama engines exposed stream()/stream_full() as async def but iterated a synchronous httpx.Client.iter_lines() internally, blocking the single event loop on every inter-token read (serializing concurrent chats; one wedged upstream read froze the whole API). Convert both to a shared AsyncHTTPEngineMixin using httpx.AsyncClient + aiter_lines() with a per-event-loop pooled client and the configured timeout applied; map mid-stream transport errors (RemoteProtocolError/ReadError) to EngineConnectionError via a deliberately narrow set that keeps CancelledError/GeneratorExit propagating; handle non-2xx explicitly (incl. 3xx and a typed EngineContextLengthError for context-window overflow 400s); switch litellm streaming to acompletion; and offload the blocking non-streaming handlers and websocket generate() to asyncio.to_thread. No public API change. Strong MockTransport-based tests, including a pin that the async path never touches the sync client. Complements #618.

docs/user-guide/agents.md

@@ -19,6 +19,71 @@ Agents are the agentic logic layer of OpenJarvis. They determine how a query is
 
 ---
 
+## Persistent Persona: SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, USER.md
+
+Every agent's system prompt is assembled at conversation start by the `SystemPromptBuilder`, which injects up to three optional Markdown files -- the **persistent persona**. They are plain text you own and edit, loaded at the start of each conversation. There is no vector database or embedding cache behind them.
+
+| File | What it holds | Example line |
+|------|---------------|--------------|
+| `SOUL.md` | How the agent should behave -- tone, length, what to push back on | `Be concise. Challenge weak assumptions.` |
+| `MEMORY.md` | Facts about you, your projects, your preferences | `I deploy to Postgres, never MySQL.` |
+| `USER.md` | Who you are -- role, team, context | `Backend engineer at Acme, on the payments team.` |
+
+This persona is distinct from the retrieval [memory backend](memory.md): the persona is always-on Markdown context loaded into the prompt, while the memory backend is searchable long-term storage the agent queries on demand.
+
+### Where they live
+
+By default the files are read from the config directory:
+
+```
+~/.openjarvis/SOUL.md
+~/.openjarvis/MEMORY.md
+~/.openjarvis/USER.md
+```
+
+(The config directory honors `$OPENJARVIS_HOME` / `$XDG_DATA_HOME` when set.) The paths are configurable under `[memory_files]`:
+
+```toml
+[memory_files]
+soul_path    = "~/.openjarvis/SOUL.md"
+memory_path  = "~/.openjarvis/MEMORY.md"
+user_path    = "~/.openjarvis/USER.md"
+persona_name = ""    # optional named persona -- see below
+```
+
+### How they're loaded
+
+At the start of each conversation, `SystemPromptBuilder` reads each file as UTF-8 and adds its contents as a section of the system prompt, after the agent template and before the skill catalog:
+
+- **All three are optional.** A missing or empty file is skipped, so any subset works and an install with no persona files behaves exactly as before.
+- **Edits apply to the next conversation.** The files are read once when a conversation's prompt is built, so there is no restart or re-indexing -- edit or delete a line and it takes effect the next time you start a conversation.
+- **Each section is length-capped.** Files are truncated to a per-section character budget so a large `MEMORY.md` cannot crowd out the rest of the prompt.
+
+### Named personas
+
+A single install can answer as different personas without changing global config. A named persona lives in its own directory:
+
+```
+~/.openjarvis/personas/<name>/SOUL.md
+~/.openjarvis/personas/<name>/MEMORY.md
+~/.openjarvis/personas/<name>/USER.md
+```
+
+Select one per invocation, or opt out entirely:
+
+```bash
+jarvis ask --persona work  "summarize my open PRs"
+jarvis ask --persona none  "what is 2 + 2?"     # inject no persona
+```
+
+Set `persona_name` under `[memory_files]` to make a named persona the default. `persona_name = "none"` (equivalently `--persona none`) disables persona injection for that run.
+
+### Editing them
+
+`SOUL.md`, `MEMORY.md`, and `USER.md` are plain Markdown -- open them in any editor. `MEMORY.md` and `USER.md` can also be updated by the agent itself through the `memory_manage` and `user_profile_manage` tools when those are enabled, so the agent can record a new fact mid-conversation. These tools always target the default `MEMORY.md` and `USER.md` (under `~/.openjarvis/`), never a named persona's copies -- edit those by hand.

   3. The `time_range` argument is a JSON object: `{{"start": "<ISO 8601>", "end": "<ISO 8601>"}}`. Either bound may be omitted, but pass at least one whenever the user gave you a temporal cue.
   4. When the user names a specific data source — "my Granola notes", "in Slack", "from my email" — you MUST pass `sources=[...]` with the matching connector ID. Only use IDs that appear in the connected-sources list above; do NOT invent or assume sources that are not connected. Common synonyms: "meeting notes"/"meetings"/"transcripts" → granola; "email"/"inbox" → gmail; "DMs"/"channels" → slack. Without this filter the search returns mail/messages ABOUT a tool instead of records FROM that tool.
   4a. Never apologize about sources that aren't in the connected-sources list — if the user asks about "Notion" but Notion isn't connected, just say "Notion isn't connected, but here's what I found in {available_sources}" and answer from what is available.
-  5. If the first structured search returns nothing useful, broaden with a semantic query and drop filters one at a time.
-  6. You have a clarify tool. Only use it AFTER at least one search attempt. Use it when: you found multiple ambiguous matches (e.g. 3 different people named John), search returned zero results and the query might need reframing, or the scope is too broad to synthesize meaningfully. Never use clarify before searching — always try first.
-  7. After receiving a clarify response, use the information to construct a precise search with the correct person, time_range, sources, and query parameters. Never send an empty query or a query with no parameters — extract every concrete signal from the user's reply (names, dates, topics, sources) and put it on the call.
-  8. Tool calls — search AND clarify — share a budget of 5 total. Spend wisely.
+  5. When the user asks for "next", "upcoming", "future", or "soon" calendar events/meetings/appointments, use `sources=["gcalendar"]` if gcalendar is connected, set `time_range={{"start": "{today}"}}`, and use `query=""` unless the user gave a specific topic such as "dentist" or "music lesson". This returns the nearest upcoming calendar items across calendars instead of keyword-matching only birthdays or event titles.
+  6. If the first structured search returns nothing useful, broaden with a semantic query and drop filters one at a time.
+  7. You have a clarify tool. Only use it AFTER at least one search attempt. Use it when: you found multiple ambiguous matches (e.g. 3 different people named John), search returned zero results and the query might need reframing, or the scope is too broad to synthesize meaningfully. Never use clarify before searching — always try first.

 Synthesis rules:
   - Cite sources as individual numbers in square brackets. Always separate — write [4] [7] [20], never [4, 7, 20]. Never format citations as markdown links. Just the number in brackets: [1]. The `ref` field on each hit is the citation number.
