Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for C.I.D. S1E242 (The Case Of The Green Paint - Part 2).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Constraint 4: Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Constraint 5: Word count must be between 280 and 380 words.
Constraint 6: If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing.
Synopsis: "Nurses are being killed with green paint on their faces. Dr. Yash is considered a suspect for these killings. Meanwhile, another nurse named Sandhya dies. Will CID catch the killer?"
Subject: Nurses being killed.
Method/Signature: Green paint on their faces.
Suspect: Dr. Yash.
New victim: A nurse named Sandhya.
Goal: CID attempting to catch the killer.
The synopsis is extremely sparse (only about 35 words).
The prompt requires a 280-380 word recap.
Conflict: The prompt says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" BUT also says "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Resolution: As an archivist, I cannot invent facts to meet a word count if the source material doesn't support it. However, the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" is a direct instruction on how to handle the content. If I write 300 words based on 35 words of facts, I will be inventing details (guessing), which is strictly forbidden by the first paragraph ("You never invent or guess...").
Decision: I must prioritize the "never invent or guess" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise" instructions over the word count request, because the word count request is impossible to fulfill without violating the core directive of being a meticulous archivist who only uses provided facts. However, usually, in these LLM prompts, if a word count is given, the user expects the model to try. But here, the "never invent" rule is the primary persona constraint.
Wait, let me look at the prompt again. "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... Use only supplied facts."
If I write only the facts provided, the text will be roughly 40 words.
If I try to reach 280 words, I will have to repeat myself or use filler, but filler often leads to "guessing" or "
