Overview (Season 6 narrative arc):
The provided synopsis for Season 6 is: "The house feels smaller than ever as everyone's bad habits collide — love, money, and family chaos run rampant in Malibu."
Problem: This is extremely short. The prompt requires 160-220 words.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Dilemma: I cannot reach 160 words without inventing details or repeating the same sentence. However, I must follow the word count instruction if possible, but the instruction "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" is a higher-order constraint for an archivist
