Description

### Description of the feature request:

We have a node based isolation for voice agents.. to save upon token costs & increase adherence. Because native support to update a system prompts is not there - we have to reconnect, & it adds upto 4-8 secs of latency depending on gemini server load. So please add support, other providers already support it. Also curious what's new in gemini 3.5 flash live? When it's coming? Is it duplex model?

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. First locate the Gemini Live session handling and determine how system prompts are currently applied and whether updates can occur without reconnecting. Done should mean native system-prompt updates work without the reported 4–8 second reconnect penalty.
