Drafting Paragraph 1 (Personal Details):
Charles Bernstein is a male professional in the film and television industry known for his work in sound. He was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. His birthday is recorded as February 28, 1943, making him 83 years old.
Drafting Paragraph 2 (Career):
In his professional career, Bernstein has accumulated 104 known credits. His primary area of expertise and recognition is within the field of sound.
Word Count Check:
Current draft: ~60 words.
Target: 180-260 words.
Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. It only contains basic biographical data and a credit count. I cannot invent details to meet the word count. However, the instructions say "Write a 180-260 word career overview". If the source doesn't have enough info, I have a conflict.
Wait, let me re-read the source.

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."
Conflict: The user wants 180-260 words, but the source only provides about 30-40 words of factual content.
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count instruction if the word count requires invention. However, usually, in these prompts, I should try to expand the prose using the available facts without adding new facts. But with only 5-6 facts, reaching 180 words without repetition or fluff is impossible without violating the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules.
Actually, I can expand the prose by describing the facts in a more formal, encyclopedic manner, but I cannot reach 180 words without being extremely repetitive or adding information not present.
Let's try to expand the existing facts as much as possible:
Charles Bernstein is a professional known for his contributions to the field of sound. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, Bernstein is a male individual whose career includes a significant number of credits. According to his professional profile, he has 104 known credits to his name.

Bernstein was born on February 28, 1943. As of the current data, he is 83 years old. His work is primarily recognized in the category of sound within the context of movies and television shows.
Word count check: ~85 words. Still far from 180.
