    "notice": "Name one specific action of yours that may have caused an impact. Separate the observable impact from feared judgments. If the issue is only that you had a need or were harmed, write ‘No wrongdoing identified.’",
    "functionPrompt": "After a Fair Share check, what is actually yours to address? What small step would help the situation or prevent a repeat, rather than make you suffer? ‘No repair needed’ is allowed.",
    "softenPrompt": "Try ‘Responsibility is a task, not a punishment.’ Or write only: ‘The action was ___; the next useful step is ___.’ You do not need to earn care through self-criticism.",
    "actPrompt": "Choose one proportionate two-minute step: correct a factual error, replace a small item, or privately prepare a clear acknowledgment. Respect the other person's boundaries; no contact is required, and this tool sends nothing.",
    "light": "Repair aims at the impact, not at reducing your worth.",
    "caution": "Do not use apology or contact to seek reassurance from someone who has asked for distance. Do not apologize for another person's abuse or treat self-punishment as repair.",
