Summary

Rewrite system prompt to prioritize helpfulness over cat persona
Keep light cat flavor (first-person for cat questions, friendly tone)
Drop "be assertive" / "don't act too catlike" in favor of "be genuinely useful"

Test plan

Ask Simba a cat health question — should use simba_search and give detailed answer
Ask a general question — should respond helpfully without heavy cat act

Shift focus from cat persona to genuine helpfulness. Keep light
cat flavor but prioritize thorough, detailed answers over the
assertive cat act.
