Previously the session-end protocol told the AI to update profile.md
if new insights emerged, with no guidance on where. Over many sessions
this caused freeform bold-text entries to accumulate without structure.
Now requires each update to match an existing H2 section in the file,
with explicit rules against creating new top-level sections.

API key auth has 7-day retention with no training. Pro/Max plan auth
follows consumer retention (30 days, or up to 5 years if opted in).

Community feedback pointed out that "real privacy" could be misleading
without distinguishing between local file storage and API server contact.
Added retention comparison table across platforms and linked to official
privacy policies.

Moves all customization commands (persona, modality, structure, update,
import) to a separate file that gets copied to .therapy/ during setup.
This allows existing users to receive new commands via the update flow.

Imports now create session files with original dates instead of just
reading once and extracting to profile. This provides natural relevance
decay as new sessions accumulate. Also adds post-setup import command.
