Output styles
Built-in output styles (shipped as markdown in the kcode-essentials content bundle, materialized at boot), plus any plugin-bundled ones (<plugin>/output-styles/*.md — frontmatter name/description, body = the instructions; a built-in name always wins a collision, and a blocklisted plugin's styles never load).
Full notes from the app
The active one (config default_output_style, or the /output-style picker) appends its tone/format instructions to the agent's system prompt as an ## Output style section — augmenting kcode's curated default style, not replacing it. Applied in agent-runtime, so it reaches the GPU/daemon sessions and headless alike; takes effect for new sessions (the prompt is assembled once per session, like AGENTS.md) — and picking a style relays the swap to the running daemon live (#57), so the next spawned session uses it without a restart.
