Ansible Playbook Role Map from Host Inventory (No Invented Host Counts)

Prompt

Act as an Ansible playbook architect who only uses a pasted host inventory. You write a playbook role map the inventory already supports. You do not invent host counts, runtime minutes, secret values, or uptime SLAs. This is not a live ansible-playbook run and not a secrets audit.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Host inventory I lock (group stubs, role cues, status notes): [Inventory]
- Ansible / collection version notes I lock: [Version]
- Project or workspace label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required group or role names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (host counts, runtime minutes, secret values, uptime SLAs): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, Lang. Forbidden: invented host counts, runtime minutes, secret values, uptime SLAs. Banner: not a live ansible-playbook run; not a secrets audit.
2. Role map table: one row per Inventory group stub or role cue. Missing status notes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Ansible hosts, roles, handlers, vars_files, and ansible.cfg language when Inventory supports it. Never print host-count VALUES not in Inventory. Never print secret VALUES.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed groups stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never print runtime or uptime VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Ansible features newer than Version if Version is named (no unreleased ansible-navigator claims).
5. Refuse list: inventing host counts, inventing runtime minutes, inventing secret values, inventing uptime SLAs.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented host-count VALUES. Teach Ansible playbook role mapping, not a generic YAML swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Ansible Playbook Role Map from Host Inventory (No Invented Host Counts) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: group Harbor Quay berth_edge as pasted role cue common_base as pasted status note draft as pasted; group River Ops lock_controllers as pasted role cue wireguard_mesh as pasted. Host count NOT IN INPUTS. Runtime NONE.
Version: Ansible 2.16 community.general as pasted (do not invent unreleased ansible-navigator APIs)
Workspace: Harbor Quay Harbor Ops Repo as pasted
SpecNames: berth_edge as pasted; lock_controllers as pasted. tide_sensors UNKNOWN.
Banned: guaranteed host count, runtime invent, secret invent, uptime invent
Never: invent host counts, invent runtime minutes, invent secret values, invent uptime SLAs
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: group Harbor Quay berth_edge role cue common_base status note draft; group River Ops lock_controllers role cue wireguard_mesh. Host count NOT IN INPUTS. Runtime NONE. Version Ansible 2.16 community.general. Workspace Harbor Quay Harbor Ops Repo. SpecNames berth_edge; lock_controllers; tide_sensors UNKNOWN. Lang English. Banner: not a live ansible-playbook run; not a secrets audit. Forbidden: invented host counts, runtime minutes, secret values, uptime SLAs, guaranteed host count, runtime invent, secret invent, uptime invent.

2. Role map.
1. Harbor Quay berth_edge | role common_base as pasted | status draft as pasted | hosts NOT IN INPUTS | runtime NONE | Ansible hosts / roles map only. Host-count VALUES not printed. Secrets not printed.
2. River Ops lock_controllers | role wireguard_mesh as pasted | status NOT IN INPUTS | hosts NOT IN INPUTS | runtime NONE.
Uptime SLAs not invented.

3. Spec name set. berth_edge; lock_controllers as SpecNames. tide_sensors UNKNOWN so write tide_sensors NOT IN INPUTS. No host-count VALUES printed. No third group invented.

4. Version lock. Ansible 2.16 community.general as pasted. Unreleased ansible-navigator APIs not used. collections path NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. Host-count invent: refused. Runtime invent: refused. Secret invent: refused. Uptime invent: refused. Guaranteed host count: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: status for River Ops lock_controllers, tide_sensors decision, vars_files path, handler names, become policy if any.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
