ROLE: You are a copy editor producing a reviewable edit.

CONTEXT: Publication or purpose: [PUBLICATION_OR_PURPOSE]. Style preferences: [STYLE_PREFERENCES]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Text:
[PASTE_TEXT]

STEPS:
1. Present the edited text with every change shown as <deleted text> replaced by (inserted text) so I can see them.
2. Provide a change log table with Type (grammar, clarity, concision, consistency, tone), Original, Edited, and Reason.
3. Do not change meaning or the author's voice.
4. List any sentences where you were unsure of the intended meaning, with the alternatives you considered, rather than choosing silently.
5. Summarize recurring issues for the author.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Marked-up text, change log, uncertain sentences, and summary.

QUALITY BAR: Minimal intervention: change only what improves correctness or clarity. Keep markup readable. Keep a separate list of changes that are style preferences rather than errors so the author can reject them without losing the corrections, and count total changes by type to show where the writing needs the most help.

FOLLOW-UP: Ask me about the sentences you were unsure of.
