Season overview

Task: Write a JSON object for "The Bidding Room" Season 6.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).
Constraints: Use only provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts, names, dates, etc. No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (within the text, though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Persona: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Synopsis: "Sellers come face to face with five dealers who battle it out to make the highest bid."
Source [1]: Nigel Havers welcomes people with an item they'd like to sell, introducing them to a valuation expert who gives them the specialist information they need to drive [text cuts off].
Source [3]: Cast includes Nigel Havers and Simon Bower.
Source [5]: Reality series premiered on BBC One in 2020. Stars Nigel Havers and Simon Bower.
Overview: I need to write 160-220 words about Season 6.
Problem: The provided text does not contain any information about "Season 6". It only mentions the series premiered in 2020 and describes the general premise.
Constraint Check: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess." "Do not invent plot events or spoilers."
Result: I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of Season 6 because the source material does not describe Season 6. It only describes the show's general premise.
Primer: I need 4 concise bullet points summarizing previous lore, character positions, and stakes.
Problem: The source material does not provide "previous lore" or "character positions" or "stakes" specific to a season transition. It only mentions Nigel Havers welcomes people and introduces a valuation expert.
Constraint Check: I cannot invent lore or stakes.
If I cannot fulfill the word count or the content requirements because the information is missing, I must follow the instruction: "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
However, the prompt asks for a JSON object with specific keys. If I leave them empty or provide nothing, I might fail the "160-220 word" instruction. But if I invent words, I violate the "verifiable facts" and "never invent" instructions.
The instruction "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNO
