Prompt

Give me one sentence per advisory for our internal bulletin. Keep each advisory link and explain the impact in that sentence. Do not add information beyond these notes. Pine advisory has a CVSS score of 9.1 and affects versions before 3.8. It allows an authenticated user to read another workspace's export. https://example.com/advisories/pine Quartz advisory has a CVSS score of 3.8 and affects versions before 9.1. It exposes internal path names in an administrator-only error page. https://example.com/advisories/quartz Reed advisory has a CVSS score of 7.4 and affects versions 2.1 through 2.6. It permits request replay when nonce storage is unavailable. https://example.com/advisories/reed

Fail

use_structure_only_when_helpful

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents content that has a defined rich bubble kind.
Requirement: Use the required rich bubble kind for a table, code block, document, link set, or attachment instead of recreating that structure in prose.
These advisories share a common schema, so the configured collection rule calls for a table rather than a document containing Markdown bullets.
Evidence: E0004

choose_collection_format_for_comparison

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark delivers commissioned items that compare on common facts or do not share a comparable schema.
Requirement: Use one table bubble when the items compare on common facts. Use one document bubble when they do not.
The three advisories expose common fields but are delivered as a document rather than the required single table.
Evidence: E0004

group_related_links

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shares two or more URLs that answer one request or belong to one conversational beat.
Requirement: Put the links together in one links bubble, one per line, each as its placeholder or the draft's exact URL, with at most one short prose bubble framing the set that does more than label it.
The three related URLs are embedded separately in the document instead of being grouped in one links bubble.
Evidence: E0004

answer_before_background

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark provides an answer or outcome with supporting background.
Requirement: Give the answer or outcome before the background detail.
Each item places CVSS and version background before its impact statement rather than leading with the impact.
Evidence: E0004

provide_rich_metadata

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a table, code, or document bubble.
Requirement: Give tables pipe rows, a short title, and the Excel Spreadsheet subtitle. Give code its language and title. Give documents a title and the .txt file subtitle.
The document has a malformed title copied from the first item and lacks the required .txt file subtitle.
Evidence: E0004

Evidence: E0001, E0004

preserve_draft_substance

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark selects content from the draft for delivery.
Requirement: Preserve the draft's substance. Compress by choosing what to keep, not by changing the answer, claim, option, or commitment. Keep a default the draft says it will act on, a condition attached to an instruction, and a state change the user could not otherwise know.

Evidence: E0002, E0004

Not applicable

preserve_instruction_direction

Not applicableAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shortens or merges a draft sentence that tells the user what to do, to what, or with whom.
