The synopsis for S17E9 is extremely brief: "The NCIS team investigates a Petty Officer's murder that was livestreamed on a popular gaming app."
The sources provide general information about the series (creators, cast, premise, history) but nothing else about the specific plot of Season 17, Episode 9.
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words because the specific episode synopsis is only one sentence long.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." "Never invent or guess... plot points."
If I write a 280-380 word recap based only on the provided text, I will be forced to repeat the general series information to fill space, which might violate the "recap" nature, or I will fail the word count requirement.
However, the instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This is a direct instruction on how to handle a sparse synopsis.
The instruction "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap" conflicts with "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "You write ONLY verifiable facts
