+The deterministic ladder separates surface-level empathy from task completion:
+the generic repeated-empathy template does not solve any task, while the
+stage-aware heuristic completes all three. The `qwen2.5:7b-instruct` run solves
+the easy work-stress task but misses the guarded and crisis completions; the
+crisis task requires an explicit safety-aware finish, not support-only
+reflection.
