Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. The prompt requires 180-260 words. However, the instructions also say "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 Resolution: There is a direct conflict between the word count requirement (180-260 words) and the strict "only verifiable facts" constraint given the extremely limited source material. If I follow the "only verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or inventing information. If I follow the word count, I must violate the "only verifiable facts" rule.
Instruction Priority: In professional prompting, the "Only verifiable facts" and "Do not invent" instructions are usually the core constraints for an archivist persona. However, the user explicitly asked for a 180-260 word overview.
