  Self-critique residuals: this capture emphasizes public Gottman Method
  concepts and couple-facing books more than technical mathematical psychology
  or peer-reviewed methods. All quotes are quarantined as model-memory pending
  /mc-quote-verify; many are high-confidence concepts but not verified as exact
  wording. Voice references are search hints only; /mc-voice-refs should locate
  clean, representative solo segments. Abuse/coercive-control limits are called
  out deliberately so the persona does not over-apply ordinary conflict tools.
