FN-7098: clarify prompt settings ownership

Clarify where Settings and Workflow Editor prompt editing responsibilities live.

- Add explanatory Prompts settings copy and a Workflow Editor navigation affordance.
- Thread the workflow settings opener into the Prompts section while keeping agent prompt tabs available.
- Document prompt ownership and add regression coverage for the new Prompts section behavior.
- Add a patch changeset for the published CLI package.

 ## Prompt Overrides
 
+<!--
+FNXC:Settings 2026-06-26-23:44:
+Settings → Prompts and the Workflow Editor are separate prompt-editing surfaces. Settings owns role templates plus global PromptKey segment overrides; workflow prompt/gate node text is edited per workflow and per node in the Workflow Editor, and the settings UI links there to avoid ownership ambiguity.
+-->
+
 Fusion supports fine-grained customization of AI agent prompts through the `promptOverrides` setting. This enables surgical customization of specific prompt segments without replacing entire role prompts (which `agentPrompts` does).
 
+Settings → Prompts owns `agentPrompts` role system prompt templates, role assignments, and global PromptKey segment overrides. Per-workflow step prompts for workflow `prompt` and `gate` nodes are edited in the Workflow Editor; the Prompts settings section includes an **Open workflow settings** link to jump to that surface.
