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

steps:
- headline: Gather the brethren
description: >-
The community gathers, often around a fire, with drummers ready. The
elder or leading bredda opens with prayer and sets the theme for
reasoning.
- headline: Reason together
description: >-
Participants reason on the theme — sharing analysis, scripture, and
lived experience. Each voice is heard; the elder keeps coherence.
- headline: Drum and chant
description: >-
Drumming and chant arise, weaving the reasoning into musical worship.
The three nyabinghi drums — bass, funde, and repeater — set the
heartbeat.
- headline: Close in unity
description: >-
The session closes when the reasoning and chant have reached their
natural end, often with shared food.
outcome: >-
Spiritual and social understanding deepens through combined reasoning and
chant; the community is strengthened in shared practice.
practice: >-
Reasoning and chant are not separate — they flow into one another. Honour
the elders' role in holding the form.
