JSON Keys:
overview: 160-220 word summary of the narrative arc.

Input Data:
Synopsis: "Charlie Dimmock and the team make garden dreams come true."
Sources: TMDB page snippet (mostly navigation links, no additional info).
Synopsis: "Charlie Dimmock and the team make garden dreams come true."
Sources: No additional information provided about Season 5 specifically, nor about previous seasons, lore, or stakes.
Overview: The synopsis is only 12 words long. The requirement is 160-220 words.
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."
Conflict: I cannot meet the word count requirement (160-220 words) without inventing facts, which is strictly forbidden.
Primer: I need exactly 4 bullet points about previous lore, character positions, and stakes. The provided text contains zero information about previous lore, character positions (other than Charlie Dimmock being part of the team), or stakes.
If I write a 160-word overview, I am violating the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules.
If I write an empty overview, I am violating the "160-220 word" rule.
In professional archiving/instruction following, the "Only verifiable facts" and "Never invent" rules are the primary constraints for accuracy. However, the prompt asks for a specific word count.
Wait, looking at the synopsis: "Charlie Dimmock and the team make garden dreams come true."
There is literally nothing else.
If I cannot fulfill the word count without violating the core instruction (no invention), I must provide what is available or an empty response if the constraints are impossible.
However, usually, in these LLM
