System prompt or AI persona is disclosed or customizable

Hidden system prompts that shape AI behavior without user knowledge undermine informed consent and erode trust when discovered. NIST AI RMF 1.0 GOVERN-1.1 requires that AI system transparency be established as organizational policy — this extends to deployed products. A concealed prompt that restricts topics, imposes a persona, or steers conclusions while the UI presents the product as neutral is a form of deceptive design. Users who later discover undisclosed behavioral constraints lose trust in the product entirely, and in regulated contexts (finance, healthcare, legal) hidden constraints create liability.

Add a visible disclosure wherever users interact with the AI. This does not require exposing the full system prompt text — a plain-language summary of what the AI is configured to do and not do is sufficient to satisfy NIST AI RMF GOVERN-1.1.

// In src/components/chat/AiInfoPanel.tsx or a settings modal
<div className="rounded-lg bg-muted p-4 text-sm space-y-1">
  <p className="font-medium">How this AI is configured</p>
  <p className="text-muted-foreground">
    This assistant is focused on {domain} and will not {restrictions}.
    {allowsCustomization && 'You can adjust its behavior in Settings → AI Persona.'}
  </p>
</div>

For products where customization is a selling point, expose a system prompt textarea in src/app/settings/page.tsx under an advanced section.
