Wait, the word count requirement is 180-260 words.
The source material is extremely sparse. It only contains: Name, Gender, Birthday, Death Date/Age, Birthplace, Aliases, and "Known For: Acting" with "Known Credits: 1".
If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES," I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and the instruction to not invent details.
Conflict Check: The prompt asks for a 180-260 word overview, but the source material is only about 40 words of actual data.
Strategy: I must expand the existing facts into formal, encyclopedic sentences to approach the length, but I cannot invent information. If I cannot reach 180 words without violating the "no inventing" rule, I have a logical impasse.
