Current word count: ~45 words.
Target: 90-130 words.
Problem: The source is very sparse. I cannot invent details to reach the word count. I must stick to the facts. If I can't reach 90 words without inventing things, I have a conflict.
Wait, the instructions say: "Write a 90-130 word factual identity profile... Use ONLY facts present above."
If the source doesn't have enough facts to reach 90 words, I must be careful. Let's see if I can expand the phrasing without adding new facts.

Word Count Check:
The current draft is very short (approx 60 words). The prompt requires 180-260 words.
Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. It only provides her name, birth/death dates/locations, gender, and the number of credits. It does not provide specific movie titles, TV show titles, specific roles, or award details.
Constraint Conflict: The prompt asks for a 180-260 word career overview, but the source material only contains about 40 words worth of factual information.
Instructional Priority: "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."
Decision: I cannot meet the word count requirement without violating the core instruction to "never invent or guess" and "omit it rather than guess." If I invent details to hit the word count, I fail the primary instruction of being a meticulous archivist. However, if I write a very short response, I fail the word count constraint.
Wait, let me re-read the source.

There is literally nothing else. I cannot write 180 words about a person using only these facts without repeating myself or adding fluff.
Strategy: I will write as much as possible using the facts provided, but I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule. If I cannot reach 180 words without inventing facts, I must prioritize the accuracy constraint. However, I can expand on the provided facts using formal, encyclopedic language to see if I can get closer to the target.
