The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I will only have about 40 words. The prompt says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." However, it also gives a specific word count range (280-380).
Conflict Resolution: As an archivist, I cannot invent facts to meet a word count. If I follow the instruction "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing," I will fail the word count constraint. However, the instruction "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" is the primary directive.
Strategy: I will provide the facts available. I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden. I will write a professional, encyclopedic summary of the available information. I will include the series context provided in the sources to add substance without violating the "no guessing" rule.
