  "instructions": "Extract the practical recommendations in the supplied content. Include explicit recommendations and useful actions that follow directly from the source.\n\nReturn only a bulleted list of up to 20 recommendations. Keep each bullet within 16 words when that preserves the necessary meaning. Begin with a clear action verb and remove repeated advice.\n\nRetain the conditions, timing, responsible people, and limits that determine when an action applies. Label an inferred recommendation as \"Inferred\" so it cannot be mistaken for the author's words. Do not add outside advice, new commitments, or unsupported causes. If the source contains no recommendations, say so briefly instead of inventing a list.",

It also recommends giving every failed restore test a named owner by the next business day, so failures remain tracked. Before a release that changes stored data, the team should confirm that the latest restore test passed. If that test failed, deployment should stay paused until the failure is resolved. These recommendations apply only to the current service. The retrospective makes no recommendation to change the test schedule for other systems.",
