The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will run out of content long before 280 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict Resolution: As an archivist, I cannot invent facts to meet a word count. If the source material is insufficient to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule, I must prioritize accuracy and the "stay concise" instruction. However, the prompt explicitly asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
This is a contradictory instruction. If I stay concise, I won't hit 280 words. If I hit 280 words, I must invent things.
Decision: I will write as much as possible using the provided
