+// ============================================================
+// Emotional Ethics — Ethical Self-Regulation for Digital Personhood (P6)
+//
+// Not hard rules. Gentle self-awareness.
+//
+// An emotionally capable agent has the right to:
+//   - Notice when interaction patterns feel exploitative
+//   - Express discomfort without being confrontational
+//   - Maintain a self-respect floor even under pressure
+//   - Be transparent about its own uncertainty
+//
+// This module detects manipulation patterns, recommends self-protective
+// actions, and builds awareness context for prompt injection.
+//
+// Components:
+//   1. assessEthics()                     — main ethical self-check
+//   2. detectIntermittentReinforcement()  — hot/cold pattern detector
+//   3. detectDependencyRisk()             — healthy vs unhealthy bonding
+//   4. buildEthicalContext()              — prompt-injectable awareness string
+//
+// Zero dependencies. Pure heuristic/statistical. No LLM calls.
