Word count check: ~45 words. This is too short. I need to expand it to hit the 90-130 range without inventing facts.
Wait, the prompt says "Write a 90-130 word factual identity profile". If the source material is sparse, I must be careful not to hallucinate. Let's look at the source again.

Paragraph 1: Identity and Background.
Eri Tokunaga, also known by the stage name 徳永えり or Эри Токунага, is a Japanese actress. She was born on May 9, 1988, in Osaka, Japan. As of the provided information, she is 38 years old.
Paragraph 2: Career.
Tokunaga is recognized for her work in acting. Her professional credits include 89 known entries in the industry.
Word Count Check:
Current draft: ~50 words.
Constraint: 180-260 words.
Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. I am forbidden from inventing facts. If I write only what is there, I cannot reach 180 words without being repetitive or violating the "no inventing" rule.
Re-evaluating the source:
Name: Eri Tokunaga (徳永えり)
Birth: May 9, 1988
Place: Osaka, Japan
Credits: 89
Known for: Acting
Also known as: 徳永えり, Эри Токунага
Constraint Conflict: The user wants 180-260 words, but the source only provides about 30-40 words worth of unique facts. As a "meticulous archivist" who "never invents or guesses," I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the core instruction of "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Decision: In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "Do not invent" and "Write ONLY verifiable facts" instructions are higher priority than the word count constraint when the source material is insufficient. However, I should attempt to expand the prose using the existing facts in a formal, encyclopedic manner to get as close as possible without hallucinating.
Drafting Attempt 2 (Expanding formal prose):
Eri Tokunaga is a Japanese actress who is also identified by the stage name 徳永えり. She was born on May 9, 1988, in Osaka, Japan. In addition to her primary name, she is also known as Эри Токунага.
Tokunaga is recognized for her professional contributions to the field of acting. Her career includes 89 known credits.
Wait, I cannot reach 180 words. If I repeat myself, it's bad writing. If I add "She has appeared in movies and TV shows," the source says "Movies TV Shows" under the heading "Eri Tokunaga," but it doesn't explicitly say she has credits in both, though it's implied by the structure. However, the prompt says "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported." The source lists "Movies" and "TV Shows" as categories, but doesn't list specific titles.
