Season overview

Topic: "Flaked" Season 2.
Constraint 1: Use ONLY provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: No invented facts (titles, names, dates, etc.).
Constraint 3: Output format: Valid JSON only.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points in the prose.
Constraint 5: overview must be 160-220 words.
Constraint 6: primer must be an array of exactly 4 concise bullet points.
SYNOPSIS: "Chip returns to Venice after a short exile and finds that he is persona non grata. No store, no friends, not even a guest house to live in, it’s a long road back to the way things were."
SOURCE [1]: "In his funky California beach enclave, Chip's the go-to guy for personal insights. But he isn't quite as enlightened when it comes to his..." (text cuts off).
Overview Construction:
The synopsis states: Chip returns to Venice after a short exile. He finds he is persona non grata. He has no store, no friends, and no guest house to live in. It is a long road back to how things were.
The source states: Chip is the go-to guy for personal insights in his funky California beach enclave.

Drafting the overview (aiming for 160-220 words):
Wait, the provided text is extremely sparse.
Synopsis: ~40 words.
Source: ~30 words.
Total available information: ~70 words.
The prompt requires a 160-220 word summary.
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."

If I strictly follow "write ONLY verifiable facts" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it", I cannot reach 160-220 words without inventing details.
However, the prompt commands a 160-220 word summary.
This is a conflict. Usually, in these types of instructions, the "verifiable facts" and "do not invent" constraints are the primary guardrails for accuracy, while the word count is a target for length. If the source material is insufficient to meet the word count without lying, I must prioritize the "do not invent" rule.

Let's see if I can expand the existing
