Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for South Park Season 20.
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 prose (except the primer array). Output valid JSON only.
Input Material:
TMDB Season Synopsis: Cartman, Kenny, Stan and Kyle confront online trolling, face the member berry epidemic, and come to terms with Cartman having a girlfriend.
Source [1]: General overview (Four boys. One f**ked-up town. Follow the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctiona).
Source [2]: Season 1 info (Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny take on supernatural, extraordinary, insane).
Source [3]: Creators (Trey Parker and Matt Stone).
Source [4]: Matt Stone bio.
Source [5]: Irrelevant.
Overview Content:
Characters: Cartman, Kenny, Stan, and Kyle.
Plot points: Confronting online trolling, facing a member berry epidemic, and dealing with the fact that Cartman has a girlfriend.
Theme: Part of growing up in South Park.
Word Count Check: The synopsis provided is very short: "Join Cartman, Kenny, Stan and Kyle as they confront online trolling, face the member berry epidemic, and come to terms with Cartman having a girlfriend. For them, it’s all part of growing up in South Park!" (37 words).
Problem: The prompt requires a 160-220 word summary. However, the instructions strictly state: "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 Resolution: If I follow the word count constraint (160-220 words), I must invent details because the source material only provides about 40 words of plot. If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" constraint, I cannot reach 160 words.
Archivist Strategy: In professional archiving, accuracy is paramount. However, as an AI following instructions, I must try to meet the length requirement if possible without violating the "no invention" rule. But the source material is insufficient to reach 160 words without repetition or fluff.
