  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Respond to what matters to the speaker. Acknowledge the event, invite a little detail and let them enjoy telling it. Active-constructive responding is different from a distracted acknowledgment, a warning-first reply or a competing story.",
  "limits": [
    "Do not fake excitement or endorse harmful behavior. Support can be quiet and sincere; the research does not promise a relationship cure."

    "Name the part that seems meaningful and check your understanding.",
    "Ask one genuine question about the experience.",
