Problem: The user requested 180-260 words. I must expand using only the provided facts without inventing anything. This is tricky because the sources are sparse.
Wait, I cannot invent facts. If the sources don't have enough info to reach 180 words, I have a conflict. I must prioritize "verifiable facts that are explicitly supported" over the word count if the word count forces invention. However, I can elaborate on the existing facts using more formal, descriptive prose.
