Subject: François Papineau (Acting).
Source: Provided TMDB snippet.

François Papineau is a male actor.
He has 68 known credits.

Career

Career overview

Subject: François Papineau (Acting).
Source: A TMDB profile snippet.
Goal: 180-260 word career overview.
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided source.
No invented roles, dates, awards, relationships, or personal details.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
2-3 short paragraphs.
Word count: 180-260 words.
Name: François Papineau.
Known For: Acting.
Known Credits: 68.
Gender: Male.
Content Score: 88.
Other info: Birthday/Place of Birth/Also Known As are not provided (marked with "-").
The source is extremely sparse. It only lists: Name, Known For (Acting), Known Credits (68), Gender (Male), and Content Score (88).
The user wants a 180-260 word career overview.
Problem: There are not enough facts in the source to reach 180 words without inventing information.
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."
If I strictly follow the instruction "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot reach the 180-word minimum because there are only about 5-6 facts.
However, the prompt demands a 180-260 word overview.
In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "Do not invent" rule is a hard constraint for an archivist. The word count is a target. If the source is insufficient, I must prioritize accuracy over word count, or I will violate the core persona of a "meticulous television and film archivist."
Wait, let me look closer at the source.
Source [1]: François Papineau. Known For: Acting. Known Credits: 68. Gender: Male. Content Score: 88.
There is literally nothing else. No movie titles, no TV show titles, no years, no locations.
If I write a 180-word text about a man who has 68 credits and is an actor, I will be forced to hallucinate.
Example of what I cannot do: "François Papineau is a talented actor who has appeared in many films and television shows throughout his career..." (This is fluff, but "talented" is an opinion/not in source).
Example of what I cannot do: "With 68 credits, he has been active in the industry..." (This is okay, but still very short).
Let's try to expand the existing facts into formal prose to see how long it gets.
"François Papineau is a male actor. According to The Movie Database, he has 68 known credits. His content score is 88."
That is 22 words.
Is there any other source? No, only [1].
Is there a way to interpret "Known For: Acting" and "Known Credits: 68" to make more words?
"The actor François Papineau is listed on The Movie Database with a total of 68 known credits. His professional work is categorized under acting. He has a content score of 88 on the platform."
Still only ~40 words.
Decision: As a "meticulous archivist," I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the "never invent or guess" and "write ONLY verifiable
