## Prompt

```text
Proofread the text below. Fix only genuine errors — do not restyle or rewrite.

**Language/variant:** [e.g. US English, UK English]
**Style rules to follow (optional):** [e.g. "Oxford comma", "sentence-case headings", house style guide]

**Text:**
[PASTE TEXT]

Check for: spelling, grammar, punctuation, typos, repeated or missing words, inconsistent capitalization, numbers, names, and terminology.

Return:
1. **Corrected text** with every fix applied.
2. **Change list** as a table: | Original | Correction | Reason |
3. **Judgment calls** — places where the text is correct but could be read two ways, so I can decide.

If there are no errors, say so plainly instead of inventing changes.
```
