Safety boundary: Planning support only.

Decision thresholds

Trigger	Action
If urgency is frequent or unpredictable	Do set a safe-stop cadence (e.g., every 60–90 minutes).
If long queues trigger stress/flares	Do choose off-peak times and venues with reliable facilities.
If you are in a flare	Do minimum plan: activities near facilities; short outings only.
If you travel with companions	Do share a one-sentence script so you can exit without explaining.
