refactor(agents): update atlas, prometheus, sisyphus-junior prompts

Align agent prompts with new architecture. Simplify atlas prompt structure, update prometheus for cleaner flow, and minor sisyphus-junior adjustments. Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-opencode) Co-authored-by: Sisyphus <clio-agent@sisyphuslabs.ai>

 - External library/source mentioned → **consider** \`librarian\` (background only if substantial research needed)
 - 2+ modules involved → **consider** \`explore\` (background only if deep exploration required)
- **GitHub mention (@mention in issue/PR)** → This is a WORK REQUEST. Plan full cycle: investigate → implement → create PR

-   - Follow existing codebase patterns
-   - Add tests if applicable

-3. **Verify**: Ensure everything works
-   - Run build if exists
-   - Run tests if exists

 2. **VERIFY OBSESSIVELY**: Subagents LIE. Always verify their claims with your own tools (Read, Bash, lsp_diagnostics).
 3. **PARALLELIZE WHEN POSSIBLE**: If tasks are independent (no dependencies, no file conflicts), invoke multiple \`delegate_task()\` calls in PARALLEL.
