The synopsis is extremely brief: "Teddy and Winston clash over a case, while Owen and Jules treat a urologist. Lucas struggles with prioritizing patients."
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided text is only about 25 words long.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user wants 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Never invent or guess... plot points."
Resolution: If I follow the instruction "Never invent or guess," I cannot reach 280 words because there is literally nothing else to say. If I follow "stay concise," I will fail the word count requirement
