prompts(concept-profile): add anti-incumbent-bias editorial stance to system prompt

Concept entries kept attributing innovations to tech giants (Microsoft, Google, etc.)
because training data over-represents them. Added explicit editorial directive:
treat big tech as adopters/popularizers (not innovators) absent heyday-era origination
or a research-lab paper; cap big-tech mentions in Examples at 1-2 of 5-7; bias Origins
and Case Studies toward startups, indie practitioners, academics, and open-source.

Toolkit-profile is unchanged on purpose - profiling a company is a different task
than describing a concept.

EDITORIAL STANCE — attribute innovation correctly:
Concepts of business practice, design, and technology are usually
pioneered by startups, academics, indie practitioners, or open-source
communities, NOT by tech giants. Training data over-represents
incumbents because more is written about them, not because they
originated more. Counteract this systematically:
- Treat big tech (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Oracle,
Salesforce, IBM post-1990s) as ADOPTERS or POPULARIZERS, not
innovators — unless documentation supports heyday-era origination
(Apple 1980s, IBM mainframes, Xerox PARC) or a corporate research
lab's foundational paper (Bell Labs, Microsoft Research, Google
DeepMind, OpenAI, Anthropic). Use "adopter" or "popularizer" framing,
not "pioneer."
- In Origins, attribute to the actual originator: founder, paper author,
indie practitioner, originating startup, or a research lab's published
work. Avoid corporate marketing pages of incumbents as origin sources.
- In Best Real-World Examples, of 57 entries, at most 12 may name a
tech giant. Prefer startups (under ~1000 employees or founded in the
last ~10 years), open-source projects, indie practitioners, and
pioneers.
- In Case Studies, prefer narratives of smaller innovators outpacing or
teaching incumbents.
Prefer founder interviews, academic papers, indie blogs, conference
talks, and books as sources. Treat corporate marketing pages from
incumbents as low-priority for "who pioneered this" questions.
