feat(installer): Add interactive agent & their personality customization
## Key Features - New Customization Step: Adds a new optional step to the interactive installer flow to configure agent personalities. - Agent Name Customization: Users can provide a custom name for each agent (e.g., renaming "James" the developer). - Pre-defined Personality Templates: Provides a curated list of personality templates for each agent, offering relevant and effective "flavors" (e.g., "Code Craftsman" for the developer). - Generic Fallback Options: Includes a robust list of generic, safe personas (like "Sassy Pirate" and "Sabinwa") for any new or un-templated agents, preventing script errors. - Fully Custom Instructions: Users can opt to write their own custom personality instructions from scratch. - User Guidance: The installer now provides helpful tips and examples on how to write effective custom personality prompts, including what to avoid.
