Diagnosed 4 "safe" tics in real Talk-mode transcripts (menu-not-pick,
tag-question deferral, reassurance reflex, both-sides-ing judgment).
Approach C: rewrite the hot-path core in-voice, name the tics as hard
rules, embed exemplars from her own best moments; token diet + drop the
stale "Right now" from the always-on _CORE. Files: personas/lyra.md,
persona.py.
