==== The only place this model can accidentally overreach is if “repair opportunity” isn’t actually low-cost and unambiguous. ====

But in the examples you’ve provided, your repair prompts are pretty clear:
* “Specify what’s drowning.”
* “Quote what’s false and show why.”
* “Engage even one point.”

Those are low-cost and falsifiable. So the “maintenance of blindspot” inference becomes much more justified.

If you want, I can help you formalize this into a short, reusable “mod lens” that’s basically CTDST-compatible:
* Stage-stable discourse markers (what good faith looks like under pressure),
* Stage-regression markers (what threat looks like when it pretends to be reason),
* and a 2-step repair test that avoids tone and avoids mind-reading entirely.
