Problem: The synopsis is very short. The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: If I only use the synopsis, I will only have about 60-70 words. If I expand to meet the word count, I will violate the "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules.
Strategy: I must look for any other facts in the sources that can be applied to the context of the episode or the series to pad the text without inventing plot points.
