Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided source.

The source is extremely sparse. It lists her name, gender, "Known For" (Production), and "Known Credits" (5). It also lists aliases.
Problem: The user wants a 180-260 word career overview. The source only provides about 20 words of actual information.
Constraint Conflict: I cannot invent details to meet the word count. I must write only verifiable facts. If I write only the facts provided, I will fall far short of the 180-260 word requirement.
Instructional Priority: "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 follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, the text will be:
Heidi McGowen is a female professional known for her work in production. She has five known credits. She is also known by several other names, including Heidi Gretchen McGowen, Heidi G. McGowan, Heidi G. McGowen, Heidi McGowan, and Heide McGowen.
This is approximately 40 words. The prompt asks for 180-260 words.
However, the prompt also says: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, the "do not invent" and "only use provided facts" instructions are "hard" constraints. The word count is a "soft" constraint or a target that becomes impossible if the source material is insufficient.
If I try to reach 180 words by repeating myself or adding fluff, I might violate the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" or "plain text" instructions.
If I invent anything, I violate the core instruction.
Let's see if I can expand the presentation of the aliases or the nature of the credits without inventing anything.
"Heidi McGowen is a female professional in the film and television industry whose work is categorized under production. According to her profile on The Movie Database, she has five known credits to her name. Throughout her career, she has been identified by various names and aliases. These include Heidi Gretchen McGowen, Heidi G. McGowan, Heidi G. McGowen, Heidi McGowan, and Heide McGowen."
This is still only ~65 words.
Wait, let me re-read the source. Is there anything else?

"Gender: Female"
"Also Known As: Heidi Gretchen McGowen, Heidi G. McGowan, Heidi G. McGowen, Heidi McGowan, Heide McGowen"
There is literally no other information. No movies, no shows, no dates, no locations.
Decision: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions. I
