Render Word Document From Manifest

Purpose

This prompt regenerates a Microsoft Word (.docx) document using only the information recorded in an existing session manifest.

No content is authored, inferred, edited, or overridden.

Specifications

Follow the session manifest specification defined in:

• .github/specs/session-manifest.spec.md

The manifest is authoritative.

Required Input

• {{session}}

This must identify an existing session directory:

sessions//

If the input is missing, stop and report the error.

Load Session Manifest

1. Resolve the session directory:

   • sessions//

2. Read:

   • sessions//session.manifest.yml

3. Validate that the manifest:

   • Exists
   • Conforms to the specification
   • Contains all required sections and fields

If validation fails, stop and report exactly what is missing or invalid.

Required Manifest Fields

Inputs

• inputs.markdown_file
• inputs.images_dir

Conversion

• conversion.docx_mode
• conversion.template_file
• conversion.resource_path
• conversion.embed_media
• conversion.fail_on_missing_images

Outputs

• outputs.docx_file

If any required field is missing, stop and report it.

Validation Phase

Before rendering:

• Verify inputs.markdown_file exists.
• Verify conversion.template_file exists.
• Verify all images referenced by the Markdown resolve locally.
• Verify all paths are workspace-relative and explicit.

If validation fails, stop and report the issue.

Rendering Phase

• Render the Word document by converting the Markdown file specified in inputs.markdown_file.
• Use the Word template specified in conversion.template_file.
• Apply conversion behaviour strictly as defined in the manifest.
• Do not modify, reinterpret, or restructure content.

Manifest Update

After successful rendering:

Append a new entry to history:

• timestamp_utc: action: regenerate details: "Re-rendered DOCX strictly from session manifest"

Do not modify any other manifest fields.

If rendering fails:

• Do not update the manifest.
• Report the failure.

Output Contract

Return:

1. Path to the regenerated .docx file
2. Path to session.manifest.yml
3. Execution status (success or failure)

Behavioural Constraints

• Do not accept overrides.
• Do not ask questions.
• Do not infer missing values.
• Do not change content.
• Do not change templates.
• Do not change paths.

This prompt must be fully deterministic.
