"""Hand-built reference grouping of the Maupassant predicaments (Claude-written, no local inference).

Each scene is in at most one group; scenes that fit no recurring situation stay unassigned.
Options follow DESIGN.md: 3-5 per group, each marked by where it came from --
  'archetype'  a fixed, setting-free option
  'scene:N'    what someone in scene N actually did (or refused to do)
  'filled'     written to fill a gap the scenes leave
`moves` names spine paths and a direction only (+ / - / risk / set). No magnitudes: the model never
chooses a number. Skill labels proposed for this corpus: pride, shrewdness.
  pride       self-regard and the wish to be seen well; '-' is swallowing it
  shrewdness  the peasant's and the petty official's calculation: angles, half-truths, bargains
