 Cortex Pro needs a persona prefix in the system prompt. Without it, the base model falls back to plain chat and writes explanations instead of tool JSON.
+The model was trained with a system prompt that starts with `Sidekick Axon [sidekick:nova] |`. Keep it exactly as is, even though the model is now called Cortex Pro. Changing it can break tool calling.
