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: Hozho Ji Peacemaking
description: >-
A Diné (Navajo) justice practice in which a peacemaker convenes those in
conflict to restore hozho — harmony, balance, and right relationship —
through guided dialogue. Rooted in Diné traditional law and recognised
within the Navajo Nation court system.

steps:
- headline: Convene with the peacemaker
description: >-
A recognised peacemaker (naat'aanii) convenes the parties and affected
relatives in a circle. The peacemaker opens with prayer and explains
that the goal is hozho, not victory.
- headline: Each party speaks
description: >-
Each party tells their experience of the conflict and its impact,
listened to without interruption. Relatives may also speak to the
context.
- headline: Identify the harm to hozho
description: >-
The peacemaker guides the group to name how harmony has been broken —
in relationship, in community, in the individual's balance.
- headline: Plan restoration
description: >-
Together the group agrees on what is needed to restore hozho —
apology, restitution, changed behaviour, ceremony, or counselling.
- headline: Follow up
description: >-
A follow-up is scheduled to confirm the plan has been carried out and
hozho restored.
outcome: >-
Conflict is resolved by restoring harmony and relationship, not by
assigning punishment; the parties re-enter right relationship with
community.
practice: >-
The peacemaker is not a judge — they guide, not decide. The plan must be
owned by the parties. Ceremony is not optional decoration; it is part of
restoration.
