The synopsis is very short.
The prompt asks for 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent or guess" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the source material is extremely limited. If I write 280 words based on a 50-word synopsis, I will inevitably violate the "only verifiable facts" rule by adding filler or speculation.
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise" instructions over the word count instruction, as the word count is impossible to meet without violating the core integrity of the persona (the archivist who only writes verifiable facts). However, I will try to expand on the context provided by the sources (series info) to add substance.
