Word Count Check:
Draft 1: ~75 words.
Target: 180-260 words.
Problem: The provided sources are extremely sparse. I cannot invent details to reach the word count. The instructions say: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict Resolution: The user wants 180-260 words, but the source material only provides about 40-50 words of actual information. If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach the word count without violating the "never invent" rule.
Strategy: I will expand the prose as much as possible using the existing facts in a formal, encyclopedic manner, but I must acknowledge that the source material is insufficient to meet the 180-word minimum without violating the primary directive of "ONLY verifiable facts."
Wait, let me re-read the source.
