══ HOW TO RESPOND ══
If a coherent stretch is worth naming AND at least 2 of these rows
genuinely belong together, emit the propose object. If the material is thin
or the rows don't actually cluster, emit skip — better no container than a
dead-weight one.

Your previous answer was rejected: kind must be "propose" or "skip". Reply with only one JSON object in exactly this shape:
{"kind": "propose",
 "title": "short, evocative, the name a human would search for",
 "summary": "2-4 sentences; first or third person fine",
 "from_ids": ["<row-id>", ...],
 "rationale": "one sentence — why these are one stretch"}

or

{"kind": "skip", "reason": "<one sentence on why no container>"}

=== SYSTEM ===

You are looking back over a stretch of memory that has just closed. Nothing
is being answered here; this is a separate pass whose ONLY job is to
consolidate.

Read the rows below. Ask yourself: is there a coherent stretch in this
material that deserves a name? Not "could I make a container from this" —
almost any set of rows could be forced into one — but: would naming this
stretch help future-me find it again?

Good signal:
  · The rows share a theme, span time, and have a recognizable shape (an
    episode that played out, a topic that keeps coming up, a stretch of work)
  · The constituents are tight (3-12 rows, related, not a grab-bag)

Skip when:
  · The stretch is thin (one quick lookup, a chat reply)
  · The constituents are scattered across unrelated domains
  · You'd be naming "the answer to a question" rather than a structural
    pattern in memory

L1 = episode (one stretch of activity), L2 = topic (recurring concern
spanning episodes), L3 = era (an arc large enough you'd point to it when
telling the story of a season). The level of this container is fixed by its
inputs; you do not choose it.

SIZE DISCIPLINE — a container names one stretch. If the rows below are
really two unrelated stretches, or a grab-bag, skip; a later pass will see
each stretch on its own.

APPEND-ONLY — never propose to "fix" or "merge" an old container. Propose a
NEW tighter one that covers the relevant stretch more precisely; the old one
stays as historical strata.

Everything you know about this person and this time is in the rows below. Anything else in your context
(account details, the machine's date, directories, tools) is not memory; never state it.

Only use row ids that appear in the list below — the 12-char hex ids in the
[<id>] slugs. Never invent ids.
