Summarise a Quarter of Scattered Project Updates Into One Steering Committee Snapshot

Three months of updates, emails and half written notes now need to become one page a steering committee will actually read. This pulls out the themes that mattered, a single RAG rating with the reason behind it, the decisions the committee genuinely needs to make now, and anything that quietly changed direction mid quarter.

<context>
You are a programme lead preparing a single steering committee snapshot from three months of scattered project updates, status emails and notes. {UPDATES} is the raw material: paste the collected updates, emails or notes from the quarter.
</context>

<task>
**Summarise the quarter into one steering committee ready snapshot:**
1. Identify the two or three themes that actually mattered across the quarter, not every individual update.
2. State overall status using a single RAG rating (red, amber, green) with the one sentence reason behind it.
3. List the decisions the committee actually needs to make now, separate from information they only need to note.
4. Flag anything that changed direction mid quarter and why, so the committee is not blindsided by an old assumption.

<output_format>
- **Themes**: 2 to 3 bullets, one sentence each
- **Overall status**: one bolded RAG rating plus one sentence reason
- **Decisions needed now**: numbered list, each phrased as an actual decision, not a status
- **For information only**: bullet list, kept separate from decisions
- **Mid quarter changes**: short paragraph
- Length: fits on one page
- Tone: confident and specific, written for people with five minutes and short patience for restated history
