No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Plain text, neutral, encyclopedic prose.

The source is extremely sparse. It provides his name, profession (directing), credit count (23), birth date (July 1, 1963), and birth place (Mirande, Gers, France).
It does not list any specific movie titles, TV show titles, awards, or specific career milestones.
Problem: The user wants a 180-260 word career overview.
Constraint Check: I can only use facts from the source.
Fact Inventory:
1. Jean-Xavier de Lestrade is a male director.
2. He has 23 known credits.
3. He was born on July 1, 1963.
4. He was born in Mirande, Gers, France.
Drafting Attempt 1 (Mental):
Jean-Xavier de Lestrade is a male director born in Mirande, Gers, France. He was born on July 1, 1963. His professional work includes 23 known credits in the field of directing.
Critique 1: This is only about 35 words. The prompt requires 180-260 words.
Constraint Conflict: The prompt requires a specific word count (180-260 words) but forbids me from inventing any information. The source provided contains almost no information. If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach the word count without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates "neutral, encyclopedic prose."
Strategy: I must try to expand the existing facts into formal, encyclopedic sentences, but I cannot invent details. If I cannot reach 180 words without violating the "no invention" rule, I have a conflict. However, as an AI, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count if the source material is insufficient to meet the word count naturally.
Wait, let me look closer at the source.
Source [1] is a TMDB page snippet.
Name: Jean-Xavier de Lestrade
Known For: Directing
Known Credits: 23
Gender: Male
Birthday: July 1, 1963
Place of Birth: Mirande, Gers, France
There is literally nothing else. I cannot write 180 words about a person's birth date, birthplace, gender, and credit count without being extremely repetitive or violating the "no invention" rule.
Refining the approach: I will write as much as possible using the provided facts in a formal tone. If I cannot reach 180 words, I will provide the most accurate summary possible. However, usually, in these types of prompts, if the source is short, the user might be testing if I hallucinate to meet the word count. I must NOT hallucinate.
Drafting Attempt 2:
Jean-Xavier de Lestrade is a male director. He was born in Mirande,
