Constraints:
Write ONLY verifiable facts explicitly supported by the source.

Source [1] is just a link/title: "Minako Tanaka — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1015991) Minako Tanaka actor biography".
Crucial Check: The prompt provides the link and the title of the source, but the actual content of the biography is not provided in the text block.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Use ONLY facts present above."
The "above" text is: "[1] Minako Tanaka — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1015991) Minako Tanaka actor biography".
There is no biographical information provided in the text block. There are no roles, no birth dates, no filmography, no awards.
If I follow the instruction "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES," and the source provided contains no information other than the name and the fact that it is a TMDB actor biography link, I cannot write a 90-130 word profile without violating the "Do not invent" rule.
However, usually, in these types of prompts, the user expects me to know the content or they forgot to paste it. But as a "meticulous television and film archivist," I must follow the instruction

Source [1] is just a link and a title: "Minako Tanaka — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1015991) Minako Tanaka actor biography".
Crucial realization: The prompt provides the link but does not provide the text of the biography within the prompt itself. However, as an AI, I must check if the "provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" contains the actual content.
Looking at the prompt: "SOURCES: [1] Minako Tanaka — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1015991) Minako Tanaka actor biography".
There is no text content provided under the source. The source is just a URL and a title.
Strict adherence to instructions: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
If the source text is not provided, I have zero facts to work with.
Wait, if I cannot access the internet to browse the link (per standard safety/tooling protocols unless specified, but here I am acting as an archivist with provided sources), and the prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above", and there are no facts "above" other than the name "Minako Tanaka", I cannot write a 180-260 word career overview.
Let me re-read the prompt. Is there hidden text? No.
Is the user expecting me to know who Minako Tanaka is from my training data? The instructions say: "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."
If I use my training data, I am violating the instruction "Use ONLY facts present above".
If I write nothing, I fail the length requirement.
However, the instruction "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" is the primary directive for an archivist.
Let's look at the source again.
[1] Minako Tanaka — The Movie Database (TMDB) (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1015991) Minako Tanaka actor biography.
There is no information about her roles, dates, or career in the provided text.
Self-Correction/Refinement: In many LLM testing scenarios, the "Source" is meant to be the text provided. If the text provided is empty of content, I cannot fulfill the request to write 180-260 words without violating the "ONLY facts present above" rule.
Wait, is it possible the user intended for me to use the link? The prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above." The link is "above". But a link is not a fact; it's a pointer. The content of the link is not "above".
