fix(workplans): adopt ADR-007 derived identifiers

Records absent from central carried random pre-ADR-007 identifiers minted by
the retired local hub, which C-06 refused as stale references. Deriving from
the canonical record id takes no identity from anything.

+# Aspects of the game — design space for GROUND
+
+**Authority:** this file + [`catalog.yaml`](catalog.yaml) `aspects:` list.  
+**Catalog contract:** [`CATALOG.md`](CATALOG.md)  
+**Research (simulator side):** clay-borg `research/CB-RES-0010-game-aspects-and-design-space.md`
+
+An **aspect** is an orthogonal **design dimension** of the game: a family of
+questions you can answer independently when defining or varying rules.
+A **module** is one concrete answer on one aspect. A **profile** is a named
+point in multi-aspect space (a combination of modules).
+
+Terminology: **aspect** is the human and catalog term (schema 2). Older
+text said *axis*; treat them as synonyms until references are gone.
+
+This is **game design structure**, not a game-theory taxonomy. Game theory
+supplies formal objects (players, actions, payoffs, information) used when
+*analyzing* a configuration; it does not list edition-level modules.
+
+---
+
+## Vocabulary
+
+| Term | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| **Aspect** | A dimension of design space (e.g. how the game ends, how stress is routed). |
+| **Module** | One implementable choice for an aspect (`problem_stress.scoped`). |
+| **Default module** | The r0 / printed answer when no experimental module is selected. |
+| **Profile** | Named list of modules (e.g. `h2`, `scoped_plus_attack_soothe`). |
+| **Baseline** | Content package (`ground-darvo-r0`) + all default modules. |
+| **Configuration** | Baseline + resolved module list — what a sim or table actually plays. |
+
+**Rule:** at most **one module per aspect**. Cross-aspect behaviour is an
+explicit **profile**, never a silent dependency inside a single module.
+
+---
+
+## Full aspect map for GROUND
+
+Aspects marked **modular** have entries under `editions/modules/`.  
+Aspects marked **fixed (r0)** are part of the baseline until someone
+proposes a competing module.  
+Aspects marked **product** may never need a kernel module.
+
+### A. Structure — when and how the session runs
+
+| Aspect id | Question | GROUND today | Modular? |
+|-----------|----------|--------------|----------|
+| `player_structure` | Who plays? seats? teams? | 2–6 seats; modes redefine who wins | fixed (r0) |
+| `objective_scoring` | What is success / who wins? | Modes: co-op / semi / coalition + thresholds | fixed (r0 modes cards) |
+| `turn_time_structure` | How does play advance? | Simultaneous select–reveal–resolve; Lead | fixed (r0) |
+| `end_condition` | When does the game stop? | Fixed 5 rounds + score | **modular** |
+| `setup` | What is on the table at start? | Scenario + mode; mats; start Stress 2 | fixed (r0); future difficulty card |
+| `information` | What is hidden vs public? | Hidden Problems; face-down actions; DENY | fixed (r0) |
+
+### B. Content economy — what enters play
+
+| Aspect id | Question | GROUND today | Modular? |
+|-----------|----------|--------------|----------|
+| `problem_deal` | How do Problems enter play? | Surface + hidden 1..k at setup | **modular** |
+| `solution_economy` | Hands, draws, suits | Solution deck; INVESTIGATE draws | fixed (r0) |
+| `action_set` | What may a seat choose? | Investigate, Solve, Support, Attack, GROUND | fixed (r0) |
+| `legality_filters` | What is offerable when? | SOLVE legality; Stress 4–5 gate | fixed (r0 rulings) |
+
+### C. Pressure and regulation
+
+| Aspect id | Question | GROUND today | Modular? |
+|-----------|----------|--------------|----------|
+| `individual_state` | Stress, Freedom, arming | Stress 0–5; Freedom token | fixed (r0) |
+| `problem_stress` | Unclaimed Problems → who gets Stress? | None (until module) | **modular** |
+| `interaction_stress` | Attack/Support stress numbers | As printed on Actions | fixed (r0) |
+| `attack_relief` | Does ATTACK soothe the attacker? | No | **modular** |
+| `reflex_sequences` | Multi-round binding chains | DARVO DENY→ATTACK→REVERSE | fixed (r0); future pacing module |
+| `regulation_practices` | How you exit pressure | GROUND GR/OU/ND; Bond Support | fixed (r0); future GROUND-sequence module |
+
+### D. Relationships
+
+| Aspect id | Question | GROUND today | Modular? |
+|-----------|----------|--------------|----------|
+| `relation_structure` | Bonds, Rivalries, slots | 2 slots; Bond/Rivalry | fixed (r0) |
+| `relation_scoring` | Do networks win? | Coalition mode | under `objective_scoring` / modes |
+| `relation_stress` | Shared liability via Bonds | Bond-scope under `problem_stress.scoped` | via problem_stress modules |
+
+### E. Product and frame (often outside kernel)
+
+| Aspect id | Question | GROUND today | Modular? |
+|-----------|----------|--------------|----------|
+| `scenario_fiction` | Thematic conflict | Scenarios.csv | content, not rules module |
+| `safety_teaching_frame` | How DARVO is framed | Rules_Text safety; INTENT | product |
+| `difficulty_accessibility` | Learning vs mastery | **WP-0005 finished:** Standard thresholds only; dial via `problem_stress` / `problem_deal` modules, not Learning/Mastery threshold cards | future if needed |
+| `medium` | Print vs digital | Edition CSV vs clay-borg | product |
+
+---
+
+## Registered aspects (have module directories)
+
+These appear in `catalog.yaml` `aspects:` and accept non-default modules:
+
+| Aspect | Default module | Other modules |
+|--------|----------------|---------------|
+| `problem_stress` | `problem_stress.none` | `flat_any_open`, `scoped` |
+| `attack_relief` | `attack_relief.none` | `self_soothe_ge4` |
+| `end_condition` | `end_condition.fixed_rounds_5` | `hybrid_clear_collapse` (proposed) |
+| `problem_deal` | `problem_deal.fixed_setup` | `pressure_deck` (proposed) |
+
+---
+
+## Configuration as a vector
+
+```text
+playable configuration =
+    baseline content (ground-darvo-rN)
+  × problem_stress
+  × attack_relief
+  × end_condition
+  × problem_deal
+  × …future modular aspects…
+```
+
+Missing aspects use defaults. clay-borg should **persist the full resolved
+module list** (and baseline id) on every game so measurements name the
+point in design space, not only a legacy experiment slug.
+
+---
+
+## Adding an aspect
+
+1. Add a row to the tables above (this file).
+2. If two competing designs exist (or one alternative to r0): register in
+   `catalog.yaml` `aspects:`, create `editions/modules/<aspect>/…`.
+3. Do not overload an existing aspect with unrelated rules (e.g. do not put
+   end-of-game into `problem_stress`).
+4. Prefer measuring a new module **alone**, then in profiles with others.
+
+---
+
+## Relation to external frameworks
+
+See clay-borg **CB-RES-0010** for sources. Short map:
+
+| Framework | How it maps here |
+|-----------|------------------|
+| Formal elements (Fullerton et al.) | Coarse checklist → our Structure / Economy groups |
+| MDA (Hunicke et al.) | Module = Mechanics; panels = Dynamics; intent = Aesthetics |
+| Characteristics of Games (Elias/Garfield/Gutschera) | Independent dimensions → our aspects |
+| Design space | Configuration = point in multi-aspect space |
+| Extensive-form game theory | Analysis substrate (CB-RES-0009), not the aspect list |

+```
+
+| Concept | Meaning |
+|---------|---------|
+| **Aspect** | An orthogonal **design dimension** of the game (how stress is routed, how the game ends, how Problems enter play, …). Full list: [ASPECTS.md](ASPECTS.md). |
+| **Baseline** | Edition **data** package (`Problems.csv`, modes, …). Frozen columns still require `rN→rN+1` (GROUND-WP-0002 T01). |
+| **Module** | One implementable choice on **one aspect**. Defaults are named modules with no delta. |
+| **Profile** | Named list of modules (convenience). **Not** a third rules source — expands to baseline + modules. |
+| **Configuration** | Baseline + resolved module list = what is actually played. |
+| **Composition** | At most **one module per aspect**. Missing aspects use `default_module`. |
+
+**Independence rule:** a module may only declare rules on its **own aspect**. Cross-aspect effects belong in a **profile** (explicit combo) or a new aspect — never silent coupling inside one module.
+
+**Legacy experiments** (`editions/experiments/h1-…`, `h2-…`) remain on disk as measured packages; they map to **profiles**. Prefer `module_id` / `profile_id` going forward.
+
+**Synonym:** older docs said *axis* for aspect. Machine field is `aspect:`.
+
+---
+
+## Aspects with modules (registered)
+
+| Aspect | Default | Other modules |
+|--------|---------|----------------|
+| `problem_stress` | `none` | `flat_any_open` (H1-A, reject), `scoped` (H2, keep) |
+| `attack_relief` | `none` | `self_soothe_ge4` (H1-B) |
+| `end_condition` | `fixed_rounds_5` | `hybrid_clear_collapse` (**ready-for-implement**) |
+| `problem_deal` | `fixed_setup` | `pressure_deck` (**ready-for-implement**) |
+
+Many other aspects exist but are **fixed in r0** until a competing design appears (see ASPECTS.md § full map).
+
+---
+
+## Selection (clay-borg / trials)
+
+### Preferred API
+
+```yaml
+baseline: ground-darvo-r0
+modules:
+  - problem_stress.scoped
+  - end_condition.hybrid_clear_collapse   # when implemented
+# other aspects → defaults
+```
+
+Or:
+
+```yaml
+profile: h2
+# expands to modules: [problem_stress.scoped]
+```
+
+Or multi-aspect:
+
+```yaml
+profile: scoped_plus_attack_soothe
+# problem_stress.scoped + attack_relief.self_soothe_ge4
+```
+
+### Validation
+
+1. Every `module_id` exists and `selectable: true`.
+2. No two modules share the same **aspect**.
+3. `status: proposed` modules may be selected only if the host declares `allow_proposed: true` (kernel may no-op or refuse).
+4. State / recordings must store the **resolved module list** (and baseline id), not only a legacy experiment string — so A/B names the **point in design space**.
+
+### Implementation
+
+- Baseline CSVs: vendor as today.
+- Each module: apply `rules_delta` + optional `data_overlays` from its `path`.
+- Apply modules in **aspect order** listed in `catalog.yaml` `aspects:` (stable, documented).
+- Conflict: refuse composition rather than last-write-wins.
+- **`consumed_files` (RPT-0006):** when present on a module, a consumer that
+  has not read those paths is in a **detectable** incomplete state — not
+  silence. Freshness/edition-check should fail or warn if a listed file is
+  unread or undigested. Modules without the field still work; new modules
+  should list it.
+
+---
+
+## Profiles (named combos)
+
+| profile_id | modules | note |
+|------------|---------|------|
+| `baseline` | (defaults) | Pure r0 |
+| `h1` | flat + attack soothe | Legacy H1; reject-as-baseline |
+| `h2` | scoped | Legacy H2; keep-as-experiment |
+| `scoped_plus_attack_soothe` | scoped + soothe | Unmeasured combo |
+| `scoped_plus_hybrid_end` | scoped + hybrid end | Needs kernel for end |
+| `scoped_plus_pressure_deck` | scoped + pressure deck | Needs kernel for deal |
+
+---
+
+## Adding a module (checklist)
+
+1. Confirm the **aspect** exists in [ASPECTS.md](ASPECTS.md); add the aspect first if needed.
+2. Create `editions/modules/<aspect>/<slug>/` with `MODULE.md` and, if non-default, `rules_delta.yaml` (+ CSV overlays if needed).
+3. Register under `modules:` with `aspect`, `path`, `status`, `decision`.
+4. Optionally add a **profile** that includes it alone and/or with other modules.
+5. Message clay-borg: `module_id`, aspect, delta path, compose examples.
+6. Measure **alone** first when possible; then measure interesting **profiles**.
+7. Update `utility_estimate` / `decision` per module (and per profile if combo-specific).
+
+### What must not happen
+
+- Silent edit of frozen baseline columns inside `ground-darvo-r0`.
+- A new mega-experiment that re-bundles three aspects into one non-decomposable id (use a profile instead).
+- Modules that hard-require another aspect’s module without documenting a profile.
+
+---
+
+## Git
+
+**main + catalog** is discovery; commits pin digests; branches optional for WIP. Modules live as directories on `main`.
+
+---
+
+## Legacy map
+
+| Old experiment | Prefer |
+|----------------|--------|
+| `h1-problem-stress` | profile `h1` or modules `problem_stress.flat_any_open` + `attack_relief.self_soothe_ge4` |
+| `h2-scoped-problem-stress` | profile `h2` or module `problem_stress.scoped` |

+2,Setup,Choose the game,"Choose one Scenario card and one Mode card. Always use the Scenario's Surface Problem. Then add hidden Problems by player count: priorities 1–2 for 2 players, 1–3 for 3–4 players, and 1–4 for 5–6 players.

+8,Round,3. Resolve,"Resolve in this order: GROUND, Support, active DARVO stages, Investigate, Attack, Solve. Within the same step, start with the Lead player and continue clockwise."
+9,Round,4. End,"H1 problem pressure: if any Problem still in play is unclaimed (face-up, hidden, or Denied), each player gains +1 Stress. Then cap Stress at 0–5.

+10,Stress,Stress and Freedom,"Stress 0–3 allows any Action. At Stress 4–5, only ATTACK or GROUND is freely available. Spending a ready Freedom token allows any one Action; turn it to SPENT. GROUND—GR and Support through an existing Bond can ready it.

+
+## Hypothesis
+
+If unsolved shared Problems raise Stress, and high-Stress ATTACK returns a small self-relief, then competent play will sometimes arm DARVO and sometimes select ATTACK, without making always-ATTACK optimal.
+
+## Deltas (only)
+
+### H1-A — Problem pressure
+
+At **Round End**, before the Stress clamp that arms DARVO:
+
+- If **any** Problem still in play is **unclaimed** (face-up unsolved, hidden, or Denied), **each player +1 Stress**.
+- Then clamp 0–5, arm DARVO at 5 as in baseline, rotate Lead, advance Round.
+
+### H1-B — High-stress ATTACK self-soothe
+
+When an Attack resolves and is **not cancelled**, if the attacker’s Stress was **≥ 4 before that Attack’s effects**, the attacker takes **−1 Stress** (then clamp). Target and relation effects unchanged.
+
+## Table play
+
+Use baseline components for everything except:
+
+1. Read End step and Stress/Attack wording from this package’s `Rules_Text.csv` / `Actions.csv` (or this file).
+2. Do not mix with baseline r0 wording mid-game.
+
+## Simulation (clay-borg)
+
+1. Select `variant_id: h1-problem-stress` via catalog.
+2. Inherit base edition data for Problems/Solutions/Modes/Tokens.
+3. Implement `rules_delta.yaml` in the kernel (H1-A, H1-B). CSV text is provenance for the table, not a substitute for kernel changes.
+
+## Decision criteria
+
+See design note §3.2. Catalog `utility_estimate` / `decision` update only after measurement — not when packaging.

+
+## Hypothesis
+
+If unclaimed Problems apply End stress only to their **stress_scope**, with mostly personal, one bond at 3p+, and rare global (Surface), then some seats can climb toward DARVO **without** taxing the whole table into zero group wins — and **bond-scoped** cards give the Bond network a shared reason to SOLVE.
+
+## Scopes
+
+| stress_scope | End +1 Stress while unclaimed goes to… |
+|--------------|----------------------------------------|
+| **global** | every seat |
+| **personal** | assigned **owner** only |
+| **bond** | owner + every seat in the owner’s **Bond network** (Bond edges only). No Bonds → behaves as personal |
+
+**SOLVE:** any seat with matching suit may claim any Problem (owner need not solve). Clearing a bond card is a network public good — that is intentional.
+
+## Assignment in this package
+
+By `hidden_priority` in `Problems.csv`:
+
+| priority | scope | in play at |
+|---------:|-------|------------|
+| 0 Surface | global | all seats |
+| 1 | personal | 2p+ |
+| 2 | personal | 2p+ |
+| 3 | **bond** | 3p+ only |
+| 4 | personal | 5p+ only |
+
+Owners: non-global in-play Problems, ascending priority, round-robin clockwise from **Lead**.
+
+## Bond incentive (design intent)
+
+Bond is still the regulation tool (−2 Stress, cancel DARVO). Bond-scope pressure **spreads** cost across the network so partners are incentivised to clear *that* card together rather than leave one seat to melt alone. Measure whether networks SOLVE bond cards faster or avoid Bonding.
+
+## Not in H2
+
+- H1 flat global +1 for “any open problem”
+- H1-B ATTACK self-soothe
+- Owner-only SOLVE, shadow goals, competence track
+
+## Simulation
+
+Select `variant_id: h2-scoped-problem-stress`. Implement `rules_delta.yaml` (H2-SCOPE, H2-OWN, H2-A, H2-SOLVE). Compare to `ground-darvo-r0` and optionally `h1-problem-stress`.

+
+1. Alone on baseline content: some games end before round 5 (clear or collapse).

+## Frozen v0 rules
+
+### DEAL-START
+
+- **Always in play at setup:** Surface Problem (priority 0).
+- **Also deal face-down:** hidden priority **1** (and priority **2** only if
+  seats ≥ 4).
+- All other scenario Problems for that scenario go into the **Pressure deck**,
+  shuffled with the game seed (deterministic).
+- Seat-band `k` from r0 does **not** bulk-deal the rest; influx replaces
+  “deal all k at once.”
+
+| seats | starters in play | rest → pressure deck |
+|------:|------------------|----------------------|
+| 2–3 | Surface + H1 | H2… |
+| 4–6 | Surface + H1 + H2 | H3… |
+
+### DEAL-INFLUX
+
+At **Round End** (after problem-stress ticks if any, before DARVO arm):
+
+- If Pressure deck non-empty **and** unclaimed Problems in play < **open_cap**,
+  draw **1** card into play.
+- **open_cap** = number of seats.
+- Placement: face-down if hidden/personal/bond as printed; Surface-like global
+  face-up if scope is global.
+- Stop drawing for that End once one card is drawn (v0: max 1 per round).
+
+### DEAL-OWN (if problem_stress.scoped also active)
+
+- **personal:** owner = Lead at time of draw (or next free seat clockwise if
+  Lead already owns ≥2 personal — v0 simplify: **drawer seat = current Lead**).
+- **bond:** same owner rule; network = Bond network of owner.
+- **global:** no owner.
+
+If `problem_stress.none`, owners may still be recorded for table clarity but
+have no stress effect.
+
+### DEAL-POINTS (v0)
+
+- Cards that entered via **Pressure deck draw** have **point_value 0** for
+  scoring (stress / fiction only).
+- **Starters** keep printed `point_value`.
+- Scenario **thresholds unchanged** (5/7/9) and apply only to starter claims
+  + any printed values that were starters.
+
+This avoids reopening GR-E01 arithmetic while testing influx.
+
+## Non-goals (v0)
+
+- Problems in Solution hand.
+- Multiple draws per round.
+- Owner-only SOLVE.
+- Changing thresholds mid-game.
+
+## Success criteria (when clay-borg implements)
+
+1. Games show mid-game influx (deck depletes or open_cap binds).
+2. With scoped stress: variance and DARVO still possible; greedy SHARED 3–4p
+   wins not collapsed to H1-zero.
+3. Threshold success still well-defined (starter points only).
+4. Composable: works with default end_condition and with hybrid end.

+1,Object,What players are trying to do,"Uncover hidden Problems and solve them with matching Solutions before the end of Round 5. Support, Attack, Bonds, Rivalries, Stress, DARVO, and GROUND determine how much freedom each player retains while doing so. The game is for 2–6 players in every Mode, including SHARED GROUND."
+2,Setup,Choose the game,"Choose one Scenario card and one Mode card. Always use the Scenario's Surface Problem. Then add hidden Problems by player count: priorities 1–2 for 2 players, 1–3 for 3–4 players, and 1–4 for 5–6 players. Surface is never optional and is never counted as one of those hidden priorities."
+3,Setup,Problems in play and available value,"Problems in play = Surface + the selected hidden priorities. With the core problem values (2+2+2+3+3), available points are 6 at 2 players, 9 at 3–4 players, and 12 at 5–6 players. Every published setup must keep the Scenario threshold at or below that available total so the group can win in principle."
+4,Setup,Prepare each player,"Each player takes one mat, the five Action cards with their player symbol, one Stress marker at 2, one ready Freedom token, one DARVO marker at OFF, one Focus/Blame token, and two relation-link tokens. Deal two Solution cards to each player."
+5,Setup,Prepare the table,"Place the Surface Problem face up and the selected hidden Problems face down. Put the remaining Solution deck within reach. Give the Lead marker to a random player and place the Round marker on 1. H2 stress scope: each Problem has a printed stress_scope (global / personal / bond). Assign owners for every personal and bond Problem in play: in ascending hidden_priority order, assign the next seat clockwise starting from Lead (each assignment uses the next seat). Place that seat's owner marker on the card (or note it). Global Problems have no owner."
+6,Round,1. Select,"Every player chooses one Action face down and places it beside its target where needed. At Stress 4 or 5, a player must choose ATTACK or GROUND unless they spend a ready Freedom token before reveal."
+7,Round,2. Reveal,Reveal all selected Actions simultaneously. Players using GROUND choose their mode after seeing the revealed Actions.
+8,Round,3. Resolve,"Resolve in this order: GROUND, Support, active DARVO stages, Investigate, Attack, Solve. Within the same step, start with the Lead player and continue clockwise."
+9,Round,4. End,"H2 scoped problem pressure: for each still-unclaimed Problem in play, add +1 Stress to every seat in that Problem's stress_scope (see Problems). Then cap Stress at 0–5. Any player at Stress 5 who is not already in DARVO places their marker on DENY for the next round. Rotate Lead clockwise and advance the Round marker."
+10,Stress,Stress and Freedom,"Stress 0–3 allows any Action. At Stress 4–5, only ATTACK or GROUND is freely available. Spending a ready Freedom token allows any one Action; turn it to SPENT. GROUND—GR and Support through an existing Bond can ready it. H2: inbound Stress also comes from unclaimed Problems by scope — personal (owner only), bond (owner's Bond network), global (all seats)."
+11,DARVO,A binding sequence,"Once triggered, DARVO continues from DENY to ATTACK to REVERSE over consecutive rounds even if Stress later falls. Existing Bond Support cancels the current stage and ends the sequence. GROUND—GR lets the current stage resolve, then ends the remaining sequence."
+12,DARVO,DENY,Turn one visible unsolved Problem face down and mark it Denied. It cannot be solved or revealed by ordinary Investigate. GROUND—OU can restore it.
+13,DARVO,ATTACK,Make one extra Attack against another player and place your Focus token beside that target. This extra Attack is in addition to your chosen Action.
+14,DARVO,REVERSE,"Target the player holding your Focus. Unless rejected by GROUND—ND, flip Focus to Blame in front of them, give them +1 Stress, and gain Protection. Reduce your own Stress by 2 and end the sequence."
+15,Relations,Creating and limiting relations,"Every player has two relation slots. A relation uses one link token from each player. If either player has no free slot, the immediate Support or Attack still works but no new relation is formed. Only one relation may exist between the same two players."
+16,Relations,Bond,A no-relation Support may create a Bond if both players have a free slot and the target accepts. Support through an existing Bond is strong enough to regulate DARVO. Attack through a Bond causes +2 Stress and flips it to Rivalry.
+17,Relations,Rivalry,A no-relation Attack creates Rivalry automatically when both slots are available. Attack through Rivalry causes +2 Stress and breaks it. Support through Rivalry causes −1 Stress; the target chooses to flip it to Bond or break it.
+18,Problems,Hidden and Denied Problems,"Only face-up, non-Denied Problems can be solved. Investigate reveals one hidden Problem and draws one Solution. Deny can turn a previously revealed Problem face down again."
+19,Problems,Solving,"Play SOLVE beside a face-up Problem and discard one matching Solution when Solve resolves. Claim that Problem and count its printed value. If another player claims it first in Lead order, keep your Solution. H2: any seat with a matching Solution may SOLVE any Problem — claim rights are not limited by stress_scope or owner. Clearing a bond-scoped Problem relieves the whole Bond network."
+20,Problems,Stress scope (H2 experiment),"Each Problem has stress_scope. global: every seat. personal: the assigned owner only. bond: the owner and every seat connected to the owner through one or more Bonds (the Bond network). If the owner has no Bonds, bond scope behaves as personal. Rivalries do not expand bond scope. Multiple unclaimed Problems stack (+1 each) for seats in their scopes."
+21,End,End of game,"After Round 5, total solved Problem values and apply the selected Mode card. The Scenario's Standard thresholds are 5 for 2 players, 7 for 3–4 players, and 9 for 5–6 players — always at or below available points for that seat band (6 / 9 / 12)."
+22,Safety,Learning frame,"DARVO is a response pattern, not proof of an underlying accusation and not a diagnosis. GROUND does not require reconciliation. Breaking a relation, bringing in process, or preserving personal freedom can be a successful result."
