feat: real-Jarvis Wave 4 — personality, idle banter, persistent history, offline math, DDG search

Personality pack (`resources/commands/personality/`):
- 5 voice commands × ~7-29 phrases each across RU and EN.
- personality.greet: 4 time-of-day buckets (morning/midday/evening/night),
  pulls one of ~7 lines per bucket per language.
- personality.thanks / .compliment / .how_are_you / .tony_quote.
- how_are_you embeds live memory size + active profile via jarvis.health()
  and jarvis.memory.all() for a "feels alive" effect.
- All use jarvis.cmd.ok helpers, no inline PowerShell SAPI.
- Built by sub-agent. Verified: 6 rust command tests + 60 python tests.

Idle banter (`crates/jarvis-core/src/idle_banter.rs`):
- Background thread chimes in periodically without being asked. Gated by
  JARVIS_IDLE_BANTER env (default OFF — intrusion is opt-in).
- Quiet hours 23:00–07:00, skipped under "sleep" profile, paused during
  active interactions via `pause()`.
- 30+ static offline lines split into RU/EN × morning/evening/generic
  buckets — no network required.
- Lua API jarvis.banter.{fire, pause, resume, enabled}.
- New voice pack `banter/` exposes "скажи что-нибудь интересное",
  "помолчи", "можешь говорить".
- 6 unit tests covering pool selection, quiet hours, interval clamp,
  pause/resume, opt-in default.

Conversation continuity (`crates/jarvis-core/src/llm/history.rs`):
- New `ConversationHistory::with_persistence(path)` builder. Every
  push/clear/pop atomically writes to `<APP_CONFIG_DIR>/llm_history.json`
  so daemon restart picks up the thread.
- System prompt is intentionally NOT persisted — comes from current init
  call so prompt edits take effect immediately on restart.
- `llm::init_history` wires the path in automatically.
- 4 new tests: round-trip, clear wipes file, corrupt file tolerated,
  len/is_empty helpers.

Offline-first math (`resources/commands/math/math.lua`):
- Was: always-LLM, hard fail without GROQ_TOKEN, inline PowerShell SAPI.
- Now: shunting-yard parser handles 95% of voice queries in <50ms — no
  network, no token. Russian operator words ("плюс", "умножить на",
  "в степени", "квадрат", ...) normalised to symbols first. Patterns
  for "корень из X" and "X процентов от Y". Falls back to LLM only on
  parse failure (word problems / equations / unit conversions).
- Drops inline PowerShell — speaks via jarvis.cmd.ok.
- 10-case shunting-yard kernel test added (basic ops, precedence,
  parens, unary minus, div-by-zero, garbage rejected).

DuckDuckGo Instant Answer (`resources/commands/ddg_answer/`):
- New pack — short factual Q&A without API key. Trigger phrases
  "что такое", "кто такой", "расскажи про", "what is", etc.
- Reads AbstractText → Answer → Definition → RelatedTopics[0] in order
  from DDG's free JSON API. Opens the search page only if nothing
  useful comes back.
- Sandbox full (needs http + system.open).

Tests: 128 → 139 (+11). Release build green.

+//! Idle banter — proactive periodic remarks from J.A.R.V.I.S.
+//!
+//! Real Tony-Stark JARVIS doesn't only respond, he initiates. This module
+//! runs a background thread that occasionally injects a short witty remark
+//! via TTS — only when conditions look right:
+//!
+//!   - The user is OPTED IN. Default is OFF (env `JARVIS_IDLE_BANTER=1`).
+//!   - At least `interval_secs` have passed since last remark. Default 30 min.
+//!   - The active profile permits noise (skipped under "sleep" profile).
+//!   - The system isn't currently speaking or listening for a command.
+//!   - Quiet hours: 23:00–07:00 silenced by default.
+//!
+//! Lines are drawn from a built-in pool of ~30 RU/EN one-liners so even
+//! offline mode works. If the LLM is reachable AND
+//! `JARVIS_IDLE_BANTER_LLM=1`, a small LLM call with current memory facts
+//! generates a fresher line — but that's strictly optional, the offline
+//! pool is the floor.
+//!
+//! Storage: no disk state. The last-fired timestamp lives in memory; if the
+//! daemon restarts, the next remark waits a full interval again.
