Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Create a JSON object for "Hannah Montana" Season 3.
Constraints:
Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If detail is not in material, omit it.
Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (within the text).
Output: Valid JSON only.
JSON Keys:
overview: Factual 160-220 word summary of the season's narrative arc.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise bullet points (though the prompt says "no bullet points" in the prose instructions, the JSON key primer is an array, which is the programmatic equivalent of bullet points).
TMDB Synopsis: Miley Stewart is a normal teenage girl who is also a world-famous celebrity named Hannah Montana. She uses a glamorous wig to hide her identity. She juggles real-life growing up stuff with her career as a pop star. Potential plot points: getting a driver's license, landing a big movie role, a secret romance being revealed, and her two worlds threatening to collide.
Source [1]: Miley Stewart is a typical teenager at home and school; Hannah Montana emerges when the lights go down and the curtain goes up.
Source [2]: Created by Richard Correll, Michael Poryes, Barry O'Brien. Stars Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Jason Earles, Billy Ray Cyrus. Identity is kept secret from even closest friends using a disguise on-stage.
Source [3]: Produced by It's a Laugh Productions. Commissioned by The Walt Disney Company.
Source [4]: "Best of Both Worlds" is complicated. Keeping identity under wraps leads to hilarious situations.
Constraint Check: The prompt asks for a summary of "this season's narrative arc" (Season 3). However, the provided synopsis is a general series synopsis, not specifically a Season 3 synopsis. The sources do not specify Season 3 plot points.
Problem: I cannot invent Season 3 specific details. I must use the provided text. The provided text describes the general premise of the series.
Strategy: I will write the overview based on the general premise provided in the synopsis, as that is the only narrative information available. I must try to hit the 160-220 word count.
Wait: If the provided text doesn't mention Season 3 specifically
