Source [1]: Series title: Warum? (or Why?). Year: 2026. Genres: News, War & Politics, Documentary.
Source [2]: Series title: Why? (or Warum?). Year: 2026.
Source [3]: Mentions "Murder for Love - Reboot" as a TV episode of Warum? (2026), but this is a different episode. I must focus on S1E131.
The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis only contains about 50-60 words of factual information.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." AND "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap."
Conflict: I cannot reach 280 words without inventing information, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt ("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, the user expects me to expand. But I am explicitly told not to.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a grounded 280-380 word episode recap... If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." This is a contradictory instruction. If I stay concise, I won't hit 280 words. If I hit 280 words, I must guess.
Decision: I will provide the facts available. I will attempt to frame the facts
