// coach/advice.js — turn knowledge.lessons into actionable dispatch overrides.
//
// The reflex chain calls consult() right before it would dispatch a
// planned skill. If a high-confidence lesson in the knowledge DB says
// "avoid that skill in this situation", we either swap in the lesson's
// preferred alternative or back off (which the curriculum reflex
// translates into wander / cooldown).
//
// This is the closing of the learning loop: post-mortem → lesson →
// recall → behavioural change. Without this, the DB is just a log.

// preconditions (e.g. survive.flee needs a known threat direction).
// The dispatcher will still run runSkill on them, which performs the
