    "notice": "Write one recent self-label, if it feels manageable. Replace ‘I am…’ with a factual description: ‘I did… in this situation….’ If no harmful action occurred, use ‘I felt…’ or ‘I was dealing with…’ instead of inventing a wrongdoing.",
    "functionPrompt": "What does the label leave out: the specific situation, limits, other contributors, or what you actually did? Use Fair Share before deciding that anything needs repair.",
    "softenPrompt": "Start with ‘A description is more useful than a sentence against me.’ If you want, add ‘I can respond to an action without attacking my whole self.’ Neutral language is enough.",
    "actPrompt": "Finish: ‘Next time this cue appears, I will [one two-minute action].’ If a real harm needs repair, choose a proportionate safe step. If none occurred, write ‘No repair is needed’ and choose care or rest.",
    "light": "A verb leaves room for choice; a verdict pretends the story is over.",
    "caution": "Do not convert being mistreated, having needs, or experiencing distress into a confession of fault.",
