Idea: add a friction log for tasks I keep avoiding.

Principles
Operating philosophy
Make it visible before it becomes urgent: Any important obligation, risk, or decision should be visible before pressure makes it noisy.
tested: Build momentum is strong, but late work can still pressure the recovery window.

Risks
Risk radar
Sensei scope expands faster than the foundation: More modules get added without improving the daily operating loop or verification rhythm.
worsening: Set tomorrow's first move before dinner and close the laptop earlier.
