  "summary": "Protect the disagreement by narrowing it to the decision.",
  "kind": "heuristic",
  "body": "Restate the disputed proposition, evidence and criteria; remove status attacks and unrelated grievances. If relationship conflict is already high, repair that layer before expecting better technical debate.",
  "limits": [
    "Psychological safety does not mean agreement, low standards or protection from consequences. Keep respectful challenge separate from unaccountable behavior."
