Season overview

Role: Television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Rainbow" Season 7.
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points (except as an array in JSON).
JSON Keys:
overview: 160-220 word summary of the season's narrative arc.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise bullet points summarizing essential previous lore, character positions, and stakes.
Input Data:
Synopsis: "Roger Walker replaces Matthew Corbett who leaves the show to continue presenting 'The Sooty Show' for his father."
Source [1]: Children's puppet programme featuring music and stories. Characters: George, Bungle, Zippy, and friends at the Rainbow House.
Source [2]: Created by Pamela Lonsdale. Ran 16 Oct 1972 to 6 March 1992 (Thames). Revived by Tetra Films 10 Jan 1994 to 24 March 1997.
Source [3]: IMDb link (no specific info).
Source [4]: Similar to [1].
Source [5]: Irrelevant (Cicely Tyson).
Overview: The synopsis provided is extremely short: "Roger Walker replaces Matthew Corbett who leaves the show to continue presenting 'The Sooty Show' for his father."
Word Count Constraint: 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided information is insufficient to reach 160 words without inventing details. The instructions say: "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 violating the "do not invent" and "omit rather than guess" rules.
Resolution: In strict instruction following for LLMs, the "do not invent" rule is usually the highest priority. However, if I write a very short overview, I fail the word count constraint. If I write a long overview, I fail the "do not invent" constraint.
Wait, let me re-read the synopsis. "Roger Walker replaces Matthew Corbett who leaves the show to continue presenting 'The Sooty Show' for his father."
Available facts for overview:
1. Roger Walker replaces Matthew Corbett.
2. Matthew Corbett leaves the show.
3. Matthew Corbett leaves to continue presenting 'The Sooty Show
