Dilemma: I cannot reach 180 words without inventing information, which is strictly forbidden by the prompt instructions ("You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess...").
Strategy: I must expand the prose using the available facts in a formal, encyclopedic manner, but I cannot reach 180 words without violating the "no invention" rule. However, usually, in these types of prompts, if the source is too short, the model should prioritize the "ONLY facts" rule over the word count rule, or try to be as descriptive as possible with the limited facts.
