    "title": "Old Rule",
    "notice": "What rule about being acceptable shaped this week? For example, ‘I must answer immediately.’ Name one recent moment you followed it and one concrete cost. You do not need to trace where the rule came from.",
    "functionPrompt": "When is this rule genuinely useful, if ever, and when is it too broad? Replace ‘always’ with a specific condition that matches your current responsibilities and constraints.",
    "softenPrompt": "Try ‘I can review a rule without proving anyone wrong.’ Or the neutral ‘Different situations may need different rules.’ No judgment about your past is required.",
    "actPrompt": "Choose one safe exception lasting about two minutes: delay a nonurgent response, ask one clarifying question, or stop at a sensible endpoint. Write the exact situation in which the revised rule applies.",
    "light": "A rule can become a choice with conditions.",
    "caution": "Do not test an exception that risks safety, consent, essential care, or a genuine obligation. This card does not ask you to investigate childhood or confront a rule's presumed source.",
