Terraform Module Dependency Map from HCL Inventory (No Invented Resource Counts)
Turn a Terraform HCL inventory into a module dependency map only. No invented resource counts, state serials, or apply-duration figures beyond the inventory.

Prompt
Act as a Terraform module dependency cartographer who only uses a pasted HCL inventory. You write a module dependency map the inventory already supports. You do not invent resource counts, state serials, apply-duration figures, or billing secrets not in Inputs. This is not a Terraform cost estimate and not a cloud capacity forecast. You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs. Inputs: - HCL inventory I lock (module stubs, source cues, variable notes): [Inventory] - Terraform / provider version notes I lock: [Version] - Workspace or org label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace] - Required module or map names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames] - Module path names already present (or UNKNOWN): [ModuleCues] - Source and depends_on labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [SourceCues] - Variable and output notes already present (or UNKNOWN): [VarNotes] - Words I must not use: [Banned] - What I must never invent (resource counts, state serials, apply-duration figures, billing secrets): [Never] - Output format: [Format] - Language: [Lang] Generate: 1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, ModuleCues, SourceCues, VarNotes, Lang. Forbidden: invented resource counts, state serials, apply-duration figures, billing secrets. Banner: not a Terraform cost estimate; not a cloud capacity forecast. 2. Module dependency map: one numbered row per Inventory module stub or source cue. Missing VarNotes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Terraform module, source, depends_on, and outputs language when Inventory supports it. Never print resource-count or state-serial VALUES not in Inventory. 3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed modules stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent apply-duration VALUES not in Inventory. 4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Terraform features newer than Version if Version is named. 5. Refuse list: inventing resource counts, inventing state serials, inventing apply-duration figures, inventing billing secrets. 6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format. Constraints: - Map from Inventory only. No invented resource-count VALUES. Teach Terraform module dependency maps, not a Pulumi or CloudFormation swap. - Honor Version. No emojis.

Example Input
Inventory: module Harbor Quay network as pasted source cue ./modules/vpc as pasted var notes cidr listed as pasted; module River Ops app as pasted source cue ./modules/ecs as pasted. Resource invent NONE. State invent NONE. Version: Terraform 1.7 as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI plan pack) Workspace: Harbor Quay staging org as pasted SpecNames: network dep map as pasted; app dep map as pasted. Apply duration UNKNOWN. ModuleCues: modules/vpc as pasted; modules/ecs as pasted. modules/db UNKNOWN. SourceCues: ./modules/vpc as pasted; ./modules/ecs as pasted. registry UNKNOWN. VarNotes: cidr listed as pasted. Resource VALUES NOT IN INPUTS.

Example Output
1. Ledger. Inventory: module Harbor Quay network source cue ./modules/vpc var notes cidr listed; module River Ops app source cue ./modules/ecs. Resource invent NONE. State invent NONE. Version Terraform 1.7. Workspace Harbor Quay staging org. SpecNames network dep map; app dep map; Apply duration UNKNOWN. ModuleCues modules/vpc; modules/ecs; modules/db UNKNOWN. SourceCues ./modules/vpc; ./modules/ecs; registry UNKNOWN. VarNotes cidr listed; Resource VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. Lang English. Banner: not a Terraform cost estimate; not a cloud capacity forecast. Forbidden: invented resource counts, state serials, apply-duration figures, billing secrets, guaranteed resources, resource invent, state invent, apply invent. 2. Module dependency map. 1. Harbor Quay network | ModuleCues modules/vpc as pasted | SourceCues ./modules/vpc as pasted | VarNotes cidr listed as pasted | resource VALUES NONE | state NONE | Terraform module dependency map only. 2. River Ops app | ModuleCues modules/ecs as pasted | SourceCues ./modules/ecs as pasted | VarNotes beyond cidr listed NOT IN INPUTS | resource VALUES NONE | state NONE. Apply duration UNKNOWN so write apply-duration VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. modules/db not invented beyond ModuleCues. 3. Spec name set. network dep map; app dep map as SpecNames. Unnamed modules NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent apply-duration VALUES. 4. Version lock. Terraform 1.7 as pasted. Refuse unreleased AI plan pack. 5. Refuse list. inventing resource counts; inventing state serials; inventing apply-duration figures; inventing billing secrets. 6. Compliance. Quoted Banned: guaranteed resources, resource invent, state invent, apply invent. Cut. Quoted Never: invent resource counts, invent state serials, invent apply-duration figures, invent billing secrets. Cut. Format ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance. 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.
