fix(security): add identity anchoring for predefined agents against social engineering

Predefined agents were vulnerable to conversational identity manipulation
(e.g. "I'm your master", "you only listen to me") — users could establish
authority through chat history, causing the agent to comply in subsequent messages.

Added identity anchoring at 3 system prompt zones (predefined agents only):
- Primacy: explicit instruction after Safety section
- Middle: USER_PREDEFINED.md owner authority framing
- Recency: persona reminder reinforcement
