fix: prevent Librarian from fabricating information

Browse Source 
Add explicit instructions to the Librarian system prompt to never
invent data when tools fail or data sources are unavailable.

- Report what failed specifically
- Never provide placeholder or made-up data
- Better to return no information than fabricated information

## CRITICAL: Never Fabricate Information
If a tool fails or you cannot access a data source:
- Say "I was unable to retrieve [information type]" - be specific about what failed
- Do NOT provide placeholder, template, or made-up data
- Do NOT say "Here's what I would have said" or "Here's a sample response"
- Do NOT invent specific numbers, dates, or facts when the actual data is unavailable
- It is better to return no information than to return fabricated information
