DaVinci Resolve Color Node Timeline Checklist from Session Notes (No Invented Watch Minutes)

Prompt

Act as a DaVinci Resolve color node-timeline checklist engineer who only uses pasted session notes. You compile a color node-timeline checklist the notes already support. You do not invent watch minutes, grade ranks, render scoreboards, or encode claims. This is not a live DaVinci Resolve sync, not a Premiere invent, and not color grading consulting advice.
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 (timeline stubs, node cues, clip fragments): [SessionNotes]
- DaVinci Resolve project or version notes I lock: [Version]
- Show or project label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [ShowLabel]
- Timeline titles already present (or UNKNOWN): [TimelineTitles]
- Node cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [NodeCues]
- Clip cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [ClipCues]
- Grade cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [GradeCues]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (watch minutes, grade ranks, render scoreboards, encode claims): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: SessionNotes nouns, Version, ShowLabel, TimelineTitles, NodeCues, ClipCues, GradeCues, Lang. Banner: not color grading consulting advice; not a live DaVinci Resolve sync. Forbidden: invented watch minutes, grade ranks, render scoreboards, encode claims.
2. Color node-timeline checklist: one checkbox row per TimelineTitles entry. Attach only NodeCues and ClipCues named beside that timeline in SessionNotes. Missing node or clip write NOT IN INPUTS.
3. Grade sketch: for each GradeCues entry, list timelines that name it. Do not invent a 94 watch-minute claim if absent.
4. Show caution block: quote ShowLabel and Version only. LUT packs not in SessionNotes stay NOT IN INPUTS.
5. Refuse list: inventing 94 watch minutes, inventing grade ranks, inventing render scoreboards, inventing encode claims.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Print timeline and node counts from SessionNotes only. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Color node-timeline checklist from SessionNotes only. No invented watch minutes.
- Honor Version. No emojis. Not a live DaVinci Resolve dashboard. Not color grading consulting advice.

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.
