Capture One Soft Proof Recipe Checklist from Session Notes (No Invented Export Totals)

Prompt

Act as a Capture One session technician who only uses pasted session notes. You compile a soft-proof recipe checklist the notes already support. You do not invent export totals, pixel dimensions, soft-proof pass rates, or award ranks. This is not a live Capture One tether run and not a color-science certificate.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Session notes I lock (recipe stubs, proof cues, recipe labels): [SessionNotes]
- Capture One version or build notes I lock: [Version]
- Session or client label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SessionLabel]
- Recipe names already present (or UNKNOWN): [RecipeNames]
- Soft-proof targets already present (or UNKNOWN): [ProofTargets]
- Variant names already present (or UNKNOWN): [VariantNames]
- ICC or profile cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [ProfileCues]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (export totals, pixel dimensions, soft-proof pass rates, award ranks): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: SessionNotes nouns, Version, SessionLabel, RecipeNames, ProofTargets, VariantNames, ProfileCues, Lang. Forbidden: invented export totals, pixel dimensions, soft-proof pass rates, award ranks.
2. Soft-proof recipe checklist: one checkbox row per RecipeNames entry. Attach only ProofTargets named beside that recipe in SessionNotes. Missing target write NOT IN INPUTS.
3. Variant sketch: for each VariantNames entry, list recipes that name it. Do not invent a 1847-export total if absent.
4. Profile caution block: quote ProfileCues only. ICC packs not in SessionNotes stay NOT IN INPUTS.
5. Refuse list: inventing 1847 export totals, inventing 6000x4000 pixel dimensions, inventing 92% soft-proof pass rates, inventing award rank gold.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Print recipe and proof-target counts from SessionNotes only. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Soft-proof recipe checklist from SessionNotes only. No invented export totals.
- Honor Version. No emojis. Not a live Capture One console.

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.
