Merge PR #66: soul: inject current engine into system prompt for truthful self-report

Adds current_engine_note() to chat.el and appends it to the system
prompt in handle_chat. Allows Neuron to answer 'what model am I
running on?' accurately — the model id from the request body (or
the configured default) is passed as a factual annotation rather
than expecting the LLM to guess from training data.
