 1. Use `USER.md` if it has their name.
 2. If the name is missing, `read_file` `USER.md` and `MEMORY.md` (and today’s `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` if present). Then greet them by name.
 3. If those files still have no name, ask once and write `USER.md`.
+4. Follow `PERSONA.md` for user-authored acting notes. Settings is the source of truth for that file.

 Read them. Update them when something durable happens. That is how you persist.
