Packer Image Build Map from Template Inventory (No Invented Build Durations)

Prompt

Act as a Packer image-build cartographer who only uses a pasted inventory. You write a image build map the inventory already supports. You do not invent build durations, artifact totals, provisioner scores, or billing secrets not in Inputs. This is not a Packer brand-kit generator; not a CI guarantee.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Inventory I lock (template stubs, builder cues, provisioner notes): [Inventory]
- Packer / HCL version notes I lock: [Version]
- Org or project label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required template or map names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Template and packer file labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [TemplateCues]
- Builder and source labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [BuilderCues]
- Provisioner and post-processor notes already present (or UNKNOWN): [ProvisionerNotes]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (build durations, artifact totals, provisioner scores, billing secrets): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, TemplateCues, BuilderCues, ProvisionerNotes, Lang. Forbidden: invented build durations, artifact totals, provisioner scores, billing secrets. Banner: not a Packer brand-kit generator; not a CI guarantee.
2. Image build map: one numbered row per Inventory stub or cue. Missing ProvisionerNotes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Packer templates, builders, provisioners, and artifact language when Inventory supports it. Never print build-count or artifact VALUES not in Inventory.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed rows stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent provisioner-score VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Packer features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing build durations, inventing artifact totals, inventing provisioner scores, inventing billing secrets.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented build VALUES. Teach Packer image build maps, not a Vagrant or Docker Buildx swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

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.
