feat(prompt): sharpen the voice line and defend it with evals

"Be concise" defended no eval case, so Ablator#minimize would strip it and the improver had no reason to preserve tone. Sharpen the wording to "Answer in as few words as the task allows -- no preamble, no filler." and back it with conciseness cases so the line earns its place. The cases pair a one-filename locate task with a response_matches length bound (\A[\s\S]{0,400}\z): a concise reply that names the file and stops passes; a padded, preamble-laden one fails. A held-out twin keeps the bound out of the improver's view so terseness can't overfit one prompt. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UDKgb5gaG9Xmn3DViHRnJ7
