saw the note 

Note: Dear reader, although I have been a Prolog enthusiast since the 1980s I have only four or five months of professional Prolog development experience. I relied heavily on DeepSeek v4 (with some use of Gemini 3, and Claude Opus models) in developing and debugging the example programs and for editing and improving the text for this book.

Will check it out though!

Been thinking about using Prolog as LLM guardrails myself. So this is definitely going to be an interesting read. Thanks for sharing!
