// ── Analyst-path prompt v2 (multi-sentence, grounded) ──────────────────────

// Shadow-diff on 12 prod stories (2026-04-21) showed the v1 analyst output
// was indistinguishable from the legacy Gemini-only output: identical
// single-sentence abstraction-speak ("destabilize / systemic / sovereign
// risk repricing") with no named actors, metrics, or dates. Root cause:
// the 18–30 word cap compressed the context's specifics out of the LLM's
// response. v2 loosens to 40–70 words across 2–3 sentences and REQUIRES
// the LLM to ground at least one specific reference from the live context.
