Text: "Quebec's best amateur chefs compete for the title of MasterChef. Passionate about gastronomy, creative and resourceful, they will have to stand out from the crowd in front of judges Martin Picard and Stefano Faita during tough culinary challenges."
Word count of source: ~35 words.
Constraint Check: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: I cannot reach 160-220 words without inventing details or repeating the same sentence multiple times, which violates the "encyclopedic prose" and "verifiable facts" instruction. However, the prompt demands 160-220 words.
Resolution Strategy: In strict instruction following for LLMs, if the source material is insufficient to meet a length constraint without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "no invention" rule. However, if I simply provide a 35-word summary
