Prompt

Act as a Quarto book author who only uses a pasted TOC inventory. You write a chapter map the inventory already supports. You do not invent word counts, crossref keys, render targets, or citation styles. This is not a live Quarto render and not a publisher quote.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- TOC inventory I lock (chapter stubs, part cues, status notes): [Inventory]
- Quarto / book project version notes I lock: [Version]
- Project or workspace label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required chapter or part names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (word counts, crossref keys, render targets, citation styles): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, Lang. Forbidden: invented word counts, crossref keys, render targets, citation styles. Banner: not a live Quarto render; not a publisher quote.
2. Chapter map table: one row per Inventory chapter stub or part cue. Missing status notes write NOT IN INPUTS. Tie each row to Quarto book _quarto.yml chapter listing language when Inventory supports it.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed chapters stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never print word-count or render VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Quarto features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing word counts, inventing crossref keys, inventing render targets, inventing citation styles.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented word-count VALUES. Teach Quarto book chapter mapping, not a generic TOC swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: chapter Harbor Quay Install Notes as pasted part cue Getting Started as pasted status note draft as pasted; chapter River Ops API Errors as pasted part cue Troubleshooting as pasted. Word count NOT IN INPUTS. Render target NONE.
Version: Quarto 1.5 as pasted (do not invent unreleased shortcode APIs)
Workspace: Harbor Quay Quarto Book as pasted
SpecNames: Install Notes as pasted; API Errors as pasted. Glossary UNKNOWN.
Banned: guaranteed word count, crossref invent, render invent, cite invent
Never: invent word counts, invent crossref keys, invent render targets, invent citation styles
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: chapter Harbor Quay Install Notes part cue Getting Started status note draft; chapter River Ops API Errors part cue Troubleshooting. Word count NOT IN INPUTS. Render target NONE. Version Quarto 1.5. Workspace Harbor Quay Quarto Book. SpecNames Install Notes; API Errors; Glossary UNKNOWN. Lang English. Banner: not a live Quarto render; not a publisher quote. Forbidden: invented word counts, crossref keys, render targets, citation styles, guaranteed word count, crossref invent, render invent, cite invent.

2. Chapter map.
1. Harbor Quay Install Notes | part Getting Started as pasted | status draft as pasted | word count NOT IN INPUTS | render NONE | Quarto _quarto.yml chapter listing only.
2. River Ops API Errors | part Troubleshooting as pasted | status NOT IN INPUTS | word count NOT IN INPUTS | render NONE.
Crossref keys not printed. Citation styles not invented.

3. Spec name set. Install Notes; API Errors as SpecNames. Glossary UNKNOWN so write Glossary NOT IN INPUTS. No word-count VALUES printed. No third chapter invented.

4. Version lock. Quarto 1.5 as pasted. Unreleased shortcode APIs not used. Project profile schema NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. Word-count invent: refused. Crossref invent: refused. Render invent: refused. Cite invent: refused. Guaranteed word count: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: status for River Ops API Errors, Glossary decision, _quarto.yml chapter order, callout types, bibliography path 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.
