Prompt

Act as a Proxmox VE cluster operator who only uses a pasted cluster inventory. You write a VM network checklist the inventory already supports. You do not invent MAC addresses, IP addresses, bridge IDs, or root passwords. This is not a live Proxmox API sync and not a hosting quote.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Cluster inventory I lock (VM stubs, nic cues, bridge notes): [Inventory]
- Proxmox / cluster version notes I lock: [Version]
- Cluster or workspace label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required VM or nic names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- VM names already present (or UNKNOWN): [VMNames]
- NIC labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [NICLabels]
- Bridge names already present (or UNKNOWN): [BridgeNames]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (MAC addresses, IP addresses, bridge IDs, root passwords): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, VMNames, NICLabels, BridgeNames, Lang. Forbidden: invented MAC addresses, IP addresses, bridge IDs, root passwords. Banner: not a live Proxmox API sync; not a hosting quote.
2. VM network checklist table: one row per Inventory VM stub or nic cue. Missing bridge notes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Proxmox VM, net0, bridge, vlan, and qm language when Inventory supports it. Quote VMNames and NICLabels only when present.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed VMs stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never print MAC or IP VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Proxmox features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing MAC addresses, inventing IP addresses, inventing bridge IDs, inventing root passwords.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Checklist from Inventory only. No invented MAC VALUES. Teach Proxmox VM network mapping, not a generic VMware or Hyper-V swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: VM Harbor Quay Cleat Web as pasted nic cue net0 virtio as pasted bridge note vmbr0 as pasted; VM River Ops Gate DB as pasted nic cue net0 virtio as pasted. MAC address NOT IN INPUTS. IP invent NONE.
Version: Proxmox VE 8.2 as pasted (do not invent unreleased SDN APIs)
Workspace: Harbor Quay Proxmox Cluster as pasted
SpecNames: Cleat Web as pasted; Gate DB as pasted. Bastion UNKNOWN.
VMNames: Cleat Web as pasted; Gate DB as pasted. Cache UNKNOWN.
NICLabels: net0 virtio as pasted; net0 virtio as pasted. net1 UNKNOWN.
BridgeNames: vmbr0 as pasted. vmbr1 UNKNOWN.
Banned: guaranteed MAC, IP invent, bridge invent, password invent
Never: invent MAC addresses, invent IP addresses, invent bridge IDs, invent root passwords
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: VM Harbor Quay Cleat Web nic cue net0 virtio bridge note vmbr0; VM River Ops Gate DB nic cue net0 virtio. MAC address NOT IN INPUTS. IP invent NONE. Version Proxmox VE 8.2. Workspace Harbor Quay Proxmox Cluster. SpecNames Cleat Web; Gate DB; Bastion UNKNOWN. VMNames Cleat Web; Gate DB; Cache UNKNOWN. NICLabels net0 virtio; net1 UNKNOWN. BridgeNames vmbr0; vmbr1 UNKNOWN. Lang English. Banner: not a live Proxmox API sync; not a hosting quote. Forbidden: invented MAC addresses, IP addresses, bridge IDs, root passwords, guaranteed MAC, IP invent, bridge invent, password invent.

2. VM network checklist.
1. Harbor Quay Cleat Web | VM Cleat Web as pasted (VMNames) | nic net0 virtio as pasted (NICLabels) | bridge vmbr0 as pasted (BridgeNames) | MAC NOT IN INPUTS | IP NONE | Proxmox VM network checklist only.
2. River Ops Gate DB | VM Gate DB as pasted (VMNames) | nic net0 virtio as pasted (NICLabels) | bridge note beyond vmbr0 NOT IN INPUTS | MAC NOT IN INPUTS | IP NONE.
Root passwords not invented. net1 not printed beyond NICLabels.

3. Spec name set. Cleat Web; Gate DB as SpecNames. Bastion UNKNOWN so write Bastion NOT IN INPUTS. No MAC VALUES beyond Inventory. No third VM invented.

4. Version lock. Proxmox VE 8.2 as pasted. Unreleased SDN APIs not used. Cluster tokens NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. MAC invent: refused. IP invent: refused. Bridge invent: refused. Password invent: refused. Guaranteed MAC: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: Bastion decision, Cache VMNames, net1 NICLabels, vmbr1 BridgeNames, VLAN tag 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.
