Task: Produce a JSON object for "Game of Thrones" Season 8.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), 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 overview (plain text). No markdown in the JSON output.
Input: TMDB Season Synopsis and five sources.
TMDB Season Synopsis: "The Great War has come, the Wall has fallen and the Night King's army of the dead marches towards Westeros. The end is here, but who will take the Iron Throne?"
Source [1]: "Winter is coming." "Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros."
Source [2]: Cast/crew info (not useful for plot).
Source [3]: "Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Friction between the houses leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest north. Amidst the war, a neglected military order of misfits, the Night's Watch, is all that stands between the realms of men and icy horror."

Overview: Needs to be 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided text is extremely sparse regarding the specific narrative arc of Season 8. The season synopsis says: "The Great War has come, the Wall has fallen and the Night King's army of the dead marches towards Westeros. The end is here, but who will take the Iron Throne?"
Constraint Check: I must write 160-220 words. If I only use the provided text, I will fail the word count requirement because the provided text is only about 35 words.
Re-evaluating instructions: "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: The word count requirement (160-220) conflicts with the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "omit if not in material" instruction because there isn't enough material to reach 160 words without inventing facts.
