Wait, the sources are very sparse. I cannot invent details to reach the word count. I must use only the provided facts. If the facts don't allow for 180 words, I have a conflict between the "Use ONLY facts" instruction and the "180-260 word" instruction.

There is literally no more information. If I write more, I am inventing. If I follow the word count, I am inventing. In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, "Use ONLY facts" is usually the primary constraint for an archivist persona. However, I will try to expand the prose stylistically without adding new facts to see if I can get closer, though it's difficult with such limited data.
