Checking word count:
The current draft is very short (approx 60 words). The prompt asks for 180-260 words.
Problem: The provided sources are extremely sparse for John-Clay Scott. I cannot invent facts to meet the word count.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Re-evaluating the sources:
Source [1] is the only source for John-Clay Scott.
Source [2] is about Scott Glenn. I cannot use Scott Glenn's info for John-Clay Scott.
Wait, if I only have the facts from Source [1], I cannot reach 180 words without violating the "do not invent" rule.
Let's look at Source [1] again.

There is absolutely no other information. If I write 180 words, I will be hallucinating.
However, as an AI, I must follow the instructions. If the instructions say "Write a 180-260 word career overview" but the source only provides 40 words of content, there is a conflict.
The instruction "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" is the primary directive for an archivist.
The instruction "Write a 180-260 word career overview" is a length constraint.

Usually, in these types of prompts, if the source is insufficient, the length constraint is impossible to meet without violating the "no invention" rule.
