Protocolbot 5c4c6f4874 fix: remove cultural identifiers from protocol titles for consistency
Cultural context remains in descriptions. Titles now uniformly use the
practice name without prefixing the culture, country, religion, or people.
e.g. 'Quaker Meeting for Worship' -> 'Meeting for Worship',
'Moroccan Jmaa Village Assembly' -> 'Jmaa Village Assembly',
'Aboriginal Yarning Circle' -> 'Yarning Circle'.

43 titles updated across the seed library.

steps:
- headline: Identify what fell short
description: >-
The person or team identifies specifically where they fell short of
the standard or their own intentions — not to assign blame but to
see clearly.
- headline: Take personal responsibility
description: >-
Each person names their own contribution to the shortfall, without
deflecting to circumstances or others. Hansei is owned, not assigned.
- headline: Identify the root in oneself
description: >-
The person reflects on what within their own habits, assumptions, or
skills led to the shortfall, going beneath the surface action.
- headline: Commit to a concrete change
description: >-
The person commits to a specific change in practice or mindset and,
in a team context, shares it so others can hold them accountable.
outcome: >-
A clear-eyed reckoning with one's own shortcomings produces a concrete
commitment to change, owned by the person themselves.
practice: >-
Hansei is not self-flagellation. It is honest seeing. If the reflection
does not lead to a specific change, it is incomplete.
