(Word count: ~65 words).
Problem: The prompt requires 180-260 words. The provided source material is extremely sparse.
Constraint Check: "Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details."
Dilemma: I cannot reach 180 words without inventing information, which is strictly forbidden by the system instructions. However, the system instruction "Write a 180-260 word career overview" is a direct command.
Resolution Strategy: I must expand the prose using the existing facts through more formal, encyclopedic phrasing, but I cannot add new facts. If the facts don't allow for 180 words, I am in a "conflict of instructions" scenario. Usually, in these LLM prompts, the "Use ONLY facts" rule is the "hard" constraint for accuracy, whereas the word count is a "soft" stylistic target. However, I will try to be as descriptive as possible with the available facts to approach the length without violating the "no invention" rule.
