"Marcel Maupi was a male actor known for his work in acting." (A bit redundant, let's refine).
"Marcel Maupi was a male actor with 81 known credits. He was born in Marseille, France, on November 6, 1881. He died on January 4, 1949, at the age of 67."

Current word count check:
"Marcel Maupi was a male actor with 81 known credits. He was born in Marseille, France, on November 6, 1881. He died on January 4, 1949, at the age of 67." -> 32 words.
Problem: The target is 90-130 words. I need to expand using only the provided facts without inventing anything.

Wait, the source is very sparse.

Total words: ~50 words.
Problem: The user requested 180-260 words. The source material is extremely sparse.
Constraint Check: "Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details."
Conflict: I cannot reach 180 words without inventing information, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt's primary instruction ("You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess...").
Strategy: I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count instruction if the word count cannot be met without violating the core truthfulness constraint. However, I should try to expand the prose stylistically (within the bounds of being an archivist) without adding new facts.
Wait, let's re-read the source carefully.

Drafting more "encyclopedic" prose to stretch it:
Marcel Maupi was a male actor who was born in Marseille, France, on November 6, 1881. His life spanned sixty-seven years, as he died on January 4, 1949.

Maupi's professional history is characterized by his work in acting. He is credited with 81 known credits.
Word count check: Still very low.
Constraint Conflict Resolution: In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, "Do not invent" is a hard constraint for an archivist persona. "Write 180-260 words" is a length constraint. If the source material only contains ~40 words of factual data, it is impossible to write 180 words without inventing facts.
Let's see if I can elaborate on the facts provided without adding new ones:
