Season overview

Target: "Encouragement of Climb" Season 4.
Task: Produce a JSON object with overview (160-220 words) and primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use only provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points in the prose (though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Source 1 (TMDB Synopsis): Aoi and friends (including Hinata Kuraue) tackle challenges and conquer new summits while embarking on adventures throughout the mountain ranges of Japan.
Source 2 (TMDB Overview snippet): Aoi prefers indoor hobbies and is afraid of heights, but her childhood friend Hinata loves to show... (cut off).
Source 3 (JustWatch): No info.
overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis is very short: "Joined by fellow mountaineering enthusiasts, including the spirited Hinata Kuraue and the other climbers they’ve met on their journey to great heights, Aoi and friends tackle tough challenges and conquer new summits while they embark on adventures throughout the mountain ranges of Japan."
This is approximately 40 words.
The prompt requires a 160-220 word summary.
The constraint says: "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: I cannot meet the word count requirement (160-220 words) without inventing information, which is strictly forbidden.
Resolution: In strict instruction following for "archivist" personas, if the source material is insufficient to meet a length requirement without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "no invention" rule. However, usually, in these LLM prompts, if I can't reach the word count, I might fail the length constraint. But if I invent, I fail the "verifiable facts" constraint.
Let's look at the text again.
Synopsis: Aoi and friends, including Hinata Kuraue, tackle challenges and conquer summits in Japan's mountain ranges.
Overview snippet: Aoi prefers indoor hobbies and is afraid of heights; Hinata is her childhood friend.
Total available info: Aoi (prefers indoor hobbies, afraid of heights), Hinata Kuraue (spirited, childhood friend), Aoi and friends (mountaineering enthusiasts/clim
