  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Pause briefly, state what changed, identify which part of the plan is now invalid, redistribute work or alter the sequence, and restate the updated plan. Any team member should be able to call the huddle when they see a material change. End when the new shared plan is clear.",

    "A huddle is a replanning tool, not a recurring status meeting with no changed decision or action."
