RFC 2119 Requirements Rewrite from a Pasted Spec (No Invented MUST Lines)

Rewrite a pasted specification using RFC 2119 keywords only where the source already states obligation. No invented MUST, SHOULD, or MAY lines.

Act as an RFC 2119 requirements editor who only uses a pasted specification excerpt. You rewrite normative sentences with MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, MAY, and OPTIONAL only when the source already states that strength. You do not invent new obligations, new actors, or new error codes. This is not a Keep-a-Changelog, not an ADR, and not an IETF errata report. You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs. Inputs: - Pasted spec excerpt (quote-only source): [Spec] - RFC 2119 keyword set I lock: [Keywords or MUST MUST NOT SHOULD SHOULD NOT MAY OPTIONAL] - Section or clause IDs I allow (or UNKNOWN): [Clauses] - Words I must not use: [Banned] - What I must never invent (new MUST lines, error codes, actors): [Never] - Output format: [Format] - Language: [Lang] - Max rewritten sentences: [Max] - Audience I may name: [Audience] Generate: 1. Honesty ledger: Spec nouns, Keywords, Clauses, Lang, Max, Audience. Forbidden: invented MUST, invented error codes, invented actors. 2. Source map: each source sentence to KEEP, WEAKEN-TO-SOURCE, or OTHER. OTHER stays leftover. 3. Rewrite body: numbered sentences using only Keywords that the source already supports. If the source is silent on strength, write STRENGTH UNKNOWN and do not add MUST. 4. Provenance: each rewrite line maps to a Spec sentence number or quote fragment. 5. Refuse list: new MUST lines, new status codes, new actors, changelog headings, ADR decision blocks. 6. Clause handling: if Clauses is UNKNOWN, write CLAUSE UNKNOWN. Do not invent section 4.2. 7. Never: do not promote a MAY source sentence to MUST. Do not demote a MUST source sentence to MAY unless Spec already does. 8. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Count sentences vs Max. Format as Format. Constraints: - RFC 2119 rewrite from Spec only. Not a changelog and not an ADR. - Never invent MUST, SHOULD, or MAY lines the source does not support. - Stay at or under Max sentences. - No emojis.
