The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 40 words of actual plot information.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." vs "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap".
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden ("You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess").
Resolution: As an archivist following strict instructions, I must prioritize the "never invent or guess" and "omit rather than guess" rules over the word count if the source material does not support the length. However, usually, in these prompts, I should try to expand using the context of the series if possible, but the instructions say "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
