The SOUL.md validator required the literal word "diegetic" while the
prompt forbids technical jargon, so valid LLM generations were silently
replaced by the template fallback, and the provisioning log still
recorded method=ollama. The fallback in turn pasted clinical stance
labels ("avoidant attachment") verbatim, which the gateway model then
performed literally: a distant, unresponsive persona.

- validation markers now match wording the prompt actually instructs
  (identity anchor + assistant boundary), word-bounded forbidden checks
- SOUL prompt now carries the persona's life facts (place, work,
  rhythm, passions); occupation presence is validated, so the model can
  no longer drift into placeless prose or borrow the subject's own
  biography
- retry loop (3 draws) before falling back; draws leaking psychology
  labels are kept only as backstop; question-mark clause appended
  deterministically when missing
- fallback renders attachment/intimacy as behavioral prose, gains the
  presence/humor rules, and fixes slot-fill grammar
- humor responsiveness + concrete-reaction rules added to the SOUL
  contract (both LLM and fallback paths)
- personalization hard-excludes avoidant/disorganized attachment for
  Gumi (preference weight alone leaked them ~20% of the time)
- registry records the real generation outcome via last_soul_method

A second-person SOUL can carry zero pronouns, so the pronoun-conform
pass has nothing to rewrite and the persona's gender ends up unstated;
the gateway model then defaults to feminine self-reference. Chats run
in Italian, where every adjective and participle agrees, so the anchor
spells out the agreement rule explicitly.

- _gender_anchor(): explicit self-gender paragraph (masculine/feminine/
  neutral) with Italian agreement examples
- appended deterministically in generate_soul_md when missing, and
  always present in the fallback template
- prompt now instructs stating gender plainly in the opening paragraph
