Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "South Park" Season 12.
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/asterisks/headings/bullets in the text (except the array structure for the primer). Output valid JSON only.
Source Material:
TMDB Synopsis: Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny help a pop-princess, negotiate a truce for striking Canadians, fight "cheesing" addiction, and battle rodents.
Source [1]: "Four boys. One f**ked-up town." "Follow the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctiona"
Source [2]: "Follow the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctional town of South Park, Colorado."

Available info for Season 12: Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny help a pop-princess down on her luck, negotiate a truce for striking Canadians, fight the addiction of "cheesing," and battle startling rodents. This is part of growing up in South Park.
Problem: The synopsis provided is very short. It's impossible to reach 160-220 words using only the provided text without repeating myself or inventing details, which is strictly forbidden.
Re-evaluating the prompt: "Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Constraint Conflict: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary, but the source material only provides about 40 words of plot. If I follow the "omit rather than guess" and "only verifiable facts" rule, I cannot reach the word count requirement without violating the "no inventing" rule.
Strategy: I will write as much as possible using the provided facts. However, if the source material is insufficient to meet the word count, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and
