Total words: ~60 words.
Problem: The user requested 180-260 words. The provided sources are extremely sparse. I cannot invent facts to reach the word count. I must stick to the facts provided. However, if I strictly follow "Write a 180-260 word career overview," but the sources only provide ~50 words of unique information, I have a conflict.
Re-evaluating the sources:
Name: Corey Woods / Raekwon
Birth: Jan 12, 1970, Brooklyn, NY
Role: Rapper, Wu-Tang Clan founding member
Acting: Known for acting, 34 credits.
Constraint Check: "You 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."
Conflict Resolution: If I cannot reach 180 words without inventing facts, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions over the word count instruction, as the word count instruction is a length target, whereas the "no invention" instruction is a fundamental content constraint. However, I will try to expand the prose stylistically without adding new facts to see if I can get closer, though it will be difficult with such limited data.
