/* Which kind of help do we need? (choosing-therapy) — rebuild 2026-09-29.
   The guide still reads one chapter at a time (js/guide-reader.js), but the tool at its heart —
   "What are you concerned about?" — now stays in view as the village's concern board: eight
   paper tags hang from a string on cork; picking one straightens it, pins a note of what to do
   underneath, and pulls the matching professions' index cards forward (js/hub-paths.js, hooks
   unchanged). Each profession opens as a record card (label | answer) with its questions on a
   checklist and its red flags marked with little flags. The comparison is a set of catalogue
   cards, the question list a notepad. Every selector is scoped to body.p-choosing. */
