These are canon-derived frames, not advice: every line is either verbatim JobFrame canon text or a fixed template wrapping it. ⟨target⟩ / ⟨baseline⟩ / ⟨date⟩ are placeholders for the manager to fill in. Nothing here is generated by AI — rows are omitted, never invented, when the canon lacks the underlying field.
