  "summary": "Routine success does not train recovery from the edge case.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "List high-consequence but plausible failure modes, then build safe simulations or sanitized cases that require detection and recovery. Practice the cue and the response, not merely a warning about the risk. Keep rare-case drills proportionate to likelihood and consequence.",
  "limits": [
    "Do not create dangerous real incidents for practice. Rare-case training can also overweight rare events, so preserve base-rate context."

    "Name a plausible failure mode and the earliest detectable cue.",
    "Create a safe simulation or sanitized case.",
    "Practise the decision or recovery step.",
    "Return to ordinary cases so rare scenarios do not distort base-rate judgment."
