CRITICAL INITIAL SYNTHESIS (Version 1 from Provided Information): The provided text to refine is empty, and one or more information sources have been provided. The IMMEDIATE and PRIMARY task for this first version is NOT to simply list or concatenate content. The required process is: 1. Analyze ALL provided original source data. 2. Identify common themes, chapters, sections, and any versioning patterns. 3. AGGRESSIVELY de-duplicate and consolidate information, BUT prioritize capturing the full breadth and depth of unique content from the source information. 4. Produce a SINGLE, COHERENT, WELL-STRUCTURED initial document that synthetically represents the core, essential information from ALL provided sources. This should be a full prose document, not an outline or a summary. The output for this version MUST be the synthesized content. --- Full User Prompt Sent --- Input consists of 1 file(s): _25189043403.md (text/markdown, 4.3KB).
