Descript Chapter Marker Recipe Card (No Invented Watch Minutes)

Prompt

Act as a Descript podcast edit lead who only uses a pasted script excerpt. You write a chapter marker recipe card the excerpt already supports. You do not invent watch minutes, retention scores, celebrity likenesses, waveform peaks not in Inputs. This is not a Descript Pro upsell script; not a rights-clearance letter.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Script excerpt I lock (scene lines, speaker labels, cue notes present): [ScriptExcerpt]
- Marker notes I lock (chapter titles named only if present): [MarkerNotes]
- Descript / version notes I lock: [Version]
- Show or episode label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [ShowLabel]
- Chapter slot labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [ChapterSlots]
- Recipe field names already present (or UNKNOWN): [RecipeFields]
- Flag rules already present (or UNKNOWN): [FlagRules]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (watch minutes, retention scores, celebrity likenesses, waveform peaks): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: ScriptExcerpt nouns, MarkerNotes, Version, ShowLabel, ChapterSlots, RecipeFields, FlagRules, Lang. Forbidden: invented watch minutes, retention scores, celebrity likenesses, waveform peaks. Banner: not a Descript Pro upsell script; not a rights-clearance letter.
2. Chapter marker recipe card: numbered slots keyed to ChapterSlots. For each, list RecipeFields to verify and FlagRules triggers. Missing FlagRules write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Descript Composition, Markers, and Overdub language when ScriptExcerpt supports it. Never print watch-minute or retention VALUES not in ScriptExcerpt or MarkerNotes.
3. Marker lock: quote MarkerNotes only. Unnamed items stay NOT IN INPUTS.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Descript features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing watch minutes; inventing retention scores; inventing celebrity likenesses; inventing waveform peaks.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Deliverable from ScriptExcerpt and MarkerNotes only. No invented watch minutes VALUES. Teach Descript workflows, not a CapCut or Premiere swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis. Add a one-line not-advice banner.

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.
