Season overview

Topic: "Mythomaniac" Season 1.
Constraints: Use only provided synopsis and sources. No invention, no guessing, no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (except in the array for the primer, but the prompt asks for "concise bullet points" within an array, which usually means strings in JSON).
Output Format: Valid JSON only.
JSON Keys:
overview: 160-220 word factual summary.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise strings summarizing essential previous lore, character positions, and stakes.
Source Content:
Synopsis: "Burned out and taken for granted, a working mom suspects her partner is cheating, so to win back his attentions, she feigns a medical diagnosis."
Metadata: Mythomaniac (2019), TV-MA, Comedy and Drama.
Overview: The synopsis is extremely short: "Burned out and taken for granted, a working mom suspects her partner is cheating, so to win back his attentions, she feigns a medical diagnosis."
Word Count Check: The synopsis is 26 words. The requirement is 160-220 words.
Conflict: I cannot meet the 160-220 word requirement without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the instructions ("You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess.").
Strategy: I must write the overview using only the provided facts. Since the facts provided are insufficient to reach 160 words, I have a logical paradox. However, usually, in these types of prompts, if the source is too short, I must provide the most factual summary possible. But the prompt specifically says "factual 160-220 word summary". If I can't reach 160 words without violating the "no invention" rule, I have to prioritize the "no invention" rule as it is a core instruction for the persona.
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose... You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
If I write a 26-word summary, I fail the length constraint. If I write a 160-word summary, I fail the "no invention" constraint.
In strict instruction following for LLMs, "Do not invent" is a negative constraint that usually overrides length requirements in "groundedness" tasks. However, I will try to expand the prose stylistically (encycl
