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: Open the majlis
description: >-
The host opens the majlis at an agreed time; all are welcome without
appointment, in keeping with the practice's accessibility.
- headline: Receive attendees
description: >-
The host greets each attendee and offers hospitality — typically
coffee and dates — establishing a relationship of welcome.
- headline: Hear the matters
description: >-
Attendees raise matters of concern, whether personal disputes,
community issues, or requests of the host. The host listens to each in
turn.
- headline: Respond and consult
description: >-
The host responds, offers counsel, or refers the matter to those with
the relevant authority, consulting those present as appropriate.
- headline: Close with thanks
description: >-
The majlis closes when all matters are heard; attendees depart with
thanks, leaving the relationship intact for the next gathering.
outcome: >-
Community members access decision-makers directly; matters are heard and
addressed within a relationship of mutual respect.
practice: >-
Accessibility is the heart of the majlis. If the host becomes hard to
reach, the form is lost. Hospitality is not decoration — it signals the
equality of guest and host.
