Protocolbot d19a75ace4 fix: rename seed files and IDs to match cleaned titles
All 100 seed YAML files now have:
- Filenames that match their id field
- IDs that are slugs of their titles
- No cultural identifiers in titles or IDs

70 files renamed. e.g. quaker-meeting-for-worship.yaml -> meeting-for-worship.yaml,
moroccan-jmaa-village.yaml -> jmaa-village-assembly.yaml,
japanese-hansei.yaml -> hansei-reflection.yaml

title: Folk High School Life Phrase Sharing
description: >-
A practice from the Scandinavian folk high school tradition where students
share a personal "life phrase" — a statement of where they are in life —
at the opening of a term. Folk high schools, originating in 19th-century
Denmark and spread across the Nordic countries, emphasise dialogue and
civic formation.

steps:
- headline: Each student prepares
description: >-
Before the term opens, each student reflects on and writes a short
phrase describing where they are in life — their current question or
longing.
- headline: Share in circle
description: >-
In an opening circle, each student reads their life phrase aloud. The
group listens without comment or question.
- headline: Hold the phrases
description: >-
The phrases are held by the group as a portrait of where the cohort
is. They may be revisited at term's end to notice change.
outcome: >-
The cohort begins with mutual awareness of each person's life context,
building the trust that folk pedagogy depends on.
practice: >-
Resist discussion after each phrase — the form is witness, not dialogue.
The phrases become a reference point; returning to them at term's end is
powerful.
