Current Word Count Check:
P1: ~45 words.
P2: ~30 words.
P3: ~25 words.
Total: ~100 words.
Problem: The user requested 180-260 words. The source material is very sparse.
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: The word count requirement (180-260) is impossible to meet using only the provided facts without repeating myself or violating the "no inventing" rule. If I repeat myself to hit the word count, it's bad writing. If I invent facts, I violate the core instruction.
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count instruction, as the word count is a length constraint while the "verifiable facts" is a content integrity constraint. However, I will try to expand the prose as much as possible using the existing facts without being redundant or adding new info.
Let's re-examine the facts to see if there's any way to expand:
