    "notice": "Describe one recent interaction in plain facts. Column one: what seems supported about the other person's behavior. Column two: what might concern your expectations or preferences, if anything. Mark uncertainty rather than forcing an answer.",
    "functionPrompt": "For each column, distinguish observation from inference. Optionally estimate confidence from 0–100%. What fact would change an uncertain interpretation? You do not need more evidence to step away from danger.",
    "softenPrompt": "Choose ‘My reaction is information, not a confession,’ or ‘I can be uncertain and keep a boundary.’ If words feel difficult, identify three colors around you.",
    "actPrompt": "Choose one private next step: note a fact, check a neutral source, decide not to engage, or name a boundary for yourself. Ask a clarifying question only if the interaction is safe and you want to.",
    "light": "Both self-reflection and an accurate warning can be true.",
    "caution": "Some reactions are accurate warnings. Threats, intimidation, and coercion do not become your fault because you examine your response. Use Not Mine to Carry or Reach Out if needed.",
