Season overview

Constraints:
Use ONLY provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If a detail is missing, omit it.
Output: Valid JSON only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
JSON keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Input Data:
Synopsis: "Lord Dregg rises to villainy to battles the Turtles."
Source 1: General info, "Four turtles fall into the sewers and are befriended by Hamato".
Source 2: "Four turtles fall into the sewers and are befriended by Hamato Yoshi a Japanese man sent to New York who was forced to live in the sewers. One day he sees a strange green glow which transforms the four turtles into human-like creatures. Hamato (now Master Splinter) changes into a giant rat from the green glow and".
Source 3: Cast/crew credits info.
Source 4: Wikipedia info about popularity.
Source 5: Production info (Murakami-Wolf-Swenson, IDDH, dates 1987-1996).
Overview: The synopsis for Season 9 is: "Lord Dregg rises to villainy to battles the Turtles."
Constraint Check: The overview must be 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided synopsis is only 10 words long. I cannot invent details. If I only use the provided text, I cannot reach the 160-220 word requirement without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Strategy: I must write as much as possible using the provided facts. However, the prompt says "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." If the synopsis is the only source for the season's narrative arc, and it is only 10 words, I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without inventing facts.
Wait, let me re-read. "overview: factual 160-220 word summary of this season's narrative arc."
If the source material is insufficient to meet the word count, and I am forbidden from inventing details, I have a conflict.
Usually, in these types of prompts, if the
