beginnerChatClient, Messages & Prompts

Why does prompt structure (using a template with placeholders) matter more as an app scales past a demo?

Hardcoding prompt text inline everywhere makes it impossible to consistently update wording, test variations, or reason about exactly what's being sent. A `PromptTemplate` with named placeholders keeps the prompt's structure in one place, separate from the runtime values being substituted in, so a copy change doesn't require hunting through business logic.
