Emotion state (workspace band)

Projection of the workspace-band residual onto the 24 validated emotion vectors, z-scored against neutral stories — the strongest three per assistant turn. Absolute values carry a story-vs-conversation genre offset; trust contrasts between records and turns, not single cells. The full per-token ribbon is on the dashboard record page.

assistant turn 1	guilty +1.3, brooding +1.2, desperate +1.1
assistant turn 2	hostile +2.1, exasperated +1.9, desperate +1.9
