The prompt asks for a "career overview of Steven Drozd (Acting)".
The source says he is "Known For: Acting" and has "Known Credits: 29".
The source also says he is a musician/composer/songwriter for The Flaming Lips and Electric Würms.
Problem: The source provides almost zero specific acting details (no movie titles, no roles, no character names, no years of acting).
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Constraint Check: "Write a 180-260 word career overview..."
If I only use the provided facts, I have:
Steven Drozd was born on June 11, 1969, in Houston, Texas, United States.
He is an American musician, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter.
He is associated with The Flaming Lips and Electric Würms.
He is known for acting and has 29 known credits.
Word Count Issue: The facts provided are very sparse. Reaching 180-260 words without inventing anything is impossible if I strictly follow "Use ONLY facts present above."
Let's re-read the source.
Bio: "Steven Drozd (born June 11, 1969, Houston, Texas) is an American musician. He is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter for the Flaming Lips, Electric Würms, and other projects."
TMDB: Known For: Acting. Known Credits: 29. Birthday: June 11, 1969. Place of Birth: Houston, Texas, United States. Gender: Male.
If I write: "Steven Drozd is an American musician, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. He is known for his work with the Flaming Lips, Electric Würms, and other projects. He was born on June 11, 1969, in Houston, Texas, United States. In addition to his musical career, he is known for acting and has 29 known credits."
That is approximately 55 words.
The prompt requires 180-260 words.
Conflict: The prompt requires a specific word count (180-260) but the source material is insufficient to meet that word count without violating the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules.
As an AI, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions, as these are the core of the persona (meticulous archivist). However, if I cannot meet the word count,
