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: Utari Support Network

steps:
- headline: Recognise the obligation
description: >-
When a household within the utari (kin network) faces a birth, death,
harvest, or hardship, the network recognises an obligation to assist.
- headline: Gather helpers
description: >-
A senior member calls the utari together, naming the need and the
households who will contribute labour, food, or presence.
- headline: Work and share food
description: >-
The network gathers, works the task together, and shares a meal. The
host household provides; helpers bring what they can.
- headline: Reciprocate in turn
description: >-
Each contributing household knows its turn will come. The obligation is
ongoing, not transactional.
outcome: >-
No household faces major life events alone; the utari binds the community
through acknowledged mutual dependence.
practice: >-
Utari is not charity — it is kinship obligation. Honour reciprocity across
time; do not extract help without offering it when called.
