================================================================================
```

### Workflow

1. Define `title` and `messageBullets` (1-5 items)
2. Choose `mode` (short for <= 12 lines, long for <= 30 lines)
3. Generate `bannerShort` and `bannerLong` variants
4. Include `safetyNotes` (>= 3 actionable security reminders)
5. **Validate**: Confirm line count, width <= 80, no trailing spaces

## Examples
- `examples/ssh-short.md`
- `examples/ssh-long.md`

## Quality checklist
1. Short mode does not spam (<= 12 lines)
2. Copy/paste safe (no trailing spaces)
3. Security notes are clear, short, and actionable
