  "summary": "A plan that has never been mentally executed may still be only text.",
  "kind": "heuristic",
  "body": "Briefly imagine the cue appearing and perform or state the intended response. Check that the response can begin with the tools, time and authority actually available. If rehearsal exposes ambiguity, fix the plan before relying on it.",
  "limits": [
    "Rehearsal is a small implementation aid, not evidence that the plan will succeed under every real-world condition."

      "role": "supports",
      "note": "A cue–response plan helps execution; it does not establish that the chosen goal is valuable or should remain dominant.",

  "example": "A learner rehearses: 'When I finish lunch, I put the phone away, open the case prompt and start the two-minute answer.' The missing headset is discovered before the real session.",
