  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Finish the core preparation early enough to leave a small buffer for missed sessions, unresolved gaps, logistics and recovery. Protect the intended sleep window from routine study expansion. Use the buffer for named residual gaps; do not automatically fill it with new scope because time remains.",
  "limits": [
    "The exact buffer size depends on uncertainty and available time. Do not turn sleep guidance into a guarantee of performance or a treatment for sleep problems."
