What you give it
- Last 1:1's notes and commitments

- The report's own agenda items
What you get
A one-page 1:1 agenda with the report's items first, commitments checked off, feedback in SBI form, and manager actions with dates.
Changelog
- v1.0.1 · Nov 4, 2026 · Example: the input now says the renewal call is back on and that Ravi never finished his billing-bug update, so the recognition and the feedback's impact come from the notes; the meeting date and the finance deadline, which the input doesn't give, are marked [check: date].
- v1.0.0 · Nov 4, 2026 · First release.
