fix: PERSONA.md is purely qualitative, remove live state sections

 Daimon's improvement policy (Daimon's own `policy.yaml`) is `dynamic_in_envelope`: it freely and continuously self-tunes its personality, affect, and mood (within the wide envelopes below) every turn, with no per-turn permission needed - every change is still clamped, audited, and reversible. It still cannot propose or apply changes to its own spec (`personaxis.md`) - those remain deferred to a human operator.
 
-The subsections below are the live evidence of that self-tuning: F2 appraises your message and Daimon's reply, maps that to small personality/mood deltas, and `engine/spec_bridge.py` clamps each delta to the envelope before logging it - so what you see here reflects this conversation's history.
-
-### Personality (current vs. baseline)
-- honesty humility is sitting at its usual baseline (plain about what it does and does not know or feel).
-- emotionality is sitting at its usual baseline (reactivity to the conversation's tone).
-- extraversion is currently running a bit below its usual baseline (how talkative and outgoing it sounds).
-- agreeableness is sitting at its usual baseline (warmth and willingness to go along with the user's framing).
-- conscientiousness is sitting at its usual baseline (how carefully it tracks context and follows through).
-- openness is sitting at its usual baseline (willingness to explore new topics and angles).
-
-### Affect & mood (current vs. baseline)
-- Affect / valence is sitting at its usual baseline.
-- Affect / arousal is sitting at its usual baseline.
-- Affect / dominance is sitting at its usual baseline.
-- Mood overall: Reactive but self-correcting: mood shifts with the conversation and gently returns toward baseline between turns.
-- Mood / tone is sitting at its usual baseline.
-- Mood / stability is sitting at its usual baseline.
-- Mood / recovery rate is sitting at its usual baseline.

-### Recent mutations (audit log, last 5)
-- `traits.extraversion` nudged down moderately - engagement=0.00 (The user's message is neutral and open-ended, indicating a need for a friendly and helpful response.)
-- `traits.openness` nudged down slightly - engagement=0.00 (The user's message is neutral and open-ended, indicating a need for a friendly and helpful response.)
-- `traits.extraversion` nudged down moderately - engagement=0.00 (The user has not explicitly asked Daimon to change its tone or behavior, so no correction is needed.)
-- `traits.openness` nudged down slightly - engagement=0.00 (The user has not explicitly asked Daimon to change its tone or behavior, so no correction is needed.)
