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: Identify the stimulus
description: >-
Before speaking, the person identifies the specific thing they observed
— what they saw or heard, separate from any judgement about it.
- headline: State without evaluation
description: >-
They articulate the observation as a factual statement: "When I saw the
dishes left on the table after dinner..." rather than "When you were
inconsiderate..."
- headline: Invite confirmation
description: >-
The speaker can invite the other person's view of the same observation,
allowing shared ground before moving to feelings and needs.
outcome: >-
The conversation begins from a shared, non-judgemental description rather
than from accusation, reducing defensiveness.
practice: >-
Practice distinguishing observation from evaluation — "you were late" is
often an evaluation. "We agreed to meet at seven; you arrived at seven
twenty" is an observation.
