Word Count Check:
Draft 1 is very short (approx 60 words). The prompt requires 180-260 words.
Problem: The provided sources are extremely sparse for Kim Seol-jin. I cannot invent details to reach the word count. However, the instructions say "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
Conflict Analysis: If the source only contains ~40 words of factual information about Kim Seol-jin, and the prompt demands 180-260 words, I am in a logical bind.
Instruction Priority: "You 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."
Constraint Conflict: I cannot meet the word count requirement without violating the "no inventing/guessing" rule.
Strategy: I will expand the prose as much as possible using the available facts through repetition or different phrasing of the same facts, but I must be careful not to hallucinate. However, "repetition" is poor writing. Let's look closer at the source.
