Wait, the prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above." If the source is very sparse, reaching 90-130 words without "inventing" or "guessing" is difficult. Let's re-examine the source.

Current Word Count Check:
"Manuel Gélin is an actor born on July 31, 1958. He was born in Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine, France. As of the provided information, he is 68 years old. His professional work is recognized for his contributions to acting. He has a total of 35 known credits. His content score is recorded as 88."
Total words: ~50 words.
Problem: The user requested 180-260 words. The source material is extremely sparse.
Constraint Conflict: "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."
Analysis: If I strictly follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach 180 words because there simply aren't enough facts in the source. If I try to reach 180 words, I will have to repeat myself or use filler, which violates the "encyclopedic prose" and "neutral" instruction. However, usually, in these prompts, the word count is a target. If the source is too short, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" constraint over the word count constraint, or find a way to expand the prose without inventing facts.
Let's see if I can expand the prose without inventing facts:
Manuel Gélin is a male actor whose professional profile includes 35 known credits. He was born in Boulogne-Billancourt, located in the Hauts-de-Seine department of France. His birth date is documented as July 31, 1958, making him 68 years old.
His career is characterized by his work in acting. According to the available data, he maintains a content score of 88. His professional history is categorized under the known for acting designation.
Word count check: ~80 words. Still far from 180.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
This is a "trap" or a very difficult constraint. If I write 180 words, I am almost certainly inventing something or being extremely repetitive.
Let's try to be as descriptive as possible with the existing facts.
