Missions are now callable from CodeAct Python code:
```python
# Create a daily briefing mission
result = mission_create(
name="Tech News",
goal="Daily AI/crypto/software news briefing",
cadence="0 9 * * *"
)
# List all missions
missions = mission_list()
# Manually fire a mission
mission_fire(id="...")
# Pause/resume
mission_pause(id="...")
mission_resume(id="...")
```
Implementation:
- MissionManager created on engine init, cron ticker started
- EffectBridgeAdapter intercepts mission_* function calls before tool
lookup and routes to MissionManager
- parse_cadence() handles: "manual", cron expressions, "event:pattern",
"webhook:path"
- Mission functions documented in CodeAct system prompt
- MissionManager set on adapter via set_mission_manager() after init
(avoids circular dependency)
System prompt updated with mission_create, mission_list, mission_fire,
mission_pause, mission_resume documentation.
151 tests passing.

The model was answering "Suggested 45 improvements" as a brief text
summary from training data without actually searching or listing them.
The trace showed: no code block, no tool calls, no FINAL().
Prompt changes:
- Rule 1: "ALWAYS respond with a ```repl code block. NEVER answer with
plain text only." (was: "Always write code... plain text for brief
explanations")
- Rule 2 (NEW): "NEVER answer from memory or training data alone.
Always use tools to get real, current information before answering."
- Rule 3: FINAL answer "should be detailed and complete — not just a
summary like 'found 45 items'"
- Rule 8 (NEW): "Include the actual content in your FINAL() answer,
not just a count or summary. Users want to see the details."

Prompt templates moved from inline Rust strings to plain markdown files
at crates/ironclaw_engine/prompts/ for easy inspection and iteration:
- prompts/codeact_preamble.md — main instructions, special functions,
context variables, rules
- prompts/codeact_postamble.md — strategy section
Loaded at compile time via include_str!(), so no runtime file I/O.
Edit the .md files and rebuild to iterate on prompts.
