'persistent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'cheat with stoneworker' is the wordplay.

This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for constant that I've seen before include "Steadfast or unvarying" , "Recurring and unchanging" , "Perpetual" , "exactly as before" , "Loyal - firm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
