Teddy experiences a pregnancy scare.
This pregnancy scare causes tension between Owen and Koracick.
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 "omit rather than guess" rule. However, usually, in these prompts, the user expects the length. But the instructions are very strict: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported... You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I write 50 words, I am following the "omit rather than guess" rule. If I write 300 words, I am violating the "never invent"
