Reviewing Word Count:
Current draft is very short (~80 words). The prompt asks for 180-260 words.
Problem: The sources provided are extremely limited regarding her acting career. They only mention she is "Known For Acting" and has "30 known credits." They do not list any movie titles, TV shows, or specific roles.
Constraint Check: "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 sources only provide about 40-50 words of actual factual content. If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach the word count without inventing information, which is strictly forbidden.
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count instruction, as the word count is impossible to meet using only the provided facts without violating the core instruction of an archivist. However, I will try to expand the prose to be as descriptive as possible using the provided facts to see if I can get closer, but I cannot hallucinate.
Wait, let me look closer at the sources.
