Season overview

Task: Create a JSON object for "The Bidding Room" Season 7.
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown/asterisks/headings/bullets in the prose. Output valid JSON only.
Keys required:
overview: 160-220 word factual summary of the season's narrative arc.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise bullet points (though the prompt says "no bullet points" in the prose instruction, it asks for an "array of exactly 4 concise bullet points" in the key description. Usually, in JSON, an array is the structure. I will provide an array of 4 strings).
Input Data:
TMDB 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 3/5: Cast includes Nigel Havers and Simon Bower.
Source 5: Reality series premiered on BBC One in 2020.
Target: Season 7.
The provided text does not mention "Season 7" specifically. It mentions the series started in 2020.
The synopsis provided is a general series synopsis: "Sellers come face to face with five dealers who battle it out to make the highest bid."
The overview requires 160-220 words.
The provided text is extremely sparse. It does not contain enough information to write a 160-220 word summary of Season 7 specifically, nor does it contain "previous lore, character positions, and stakes" for a primer.
Constraint Check: "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."
Problem: The provided material does not contain information about Season 7. It only contains general information about the series.
Problem: The word count requirement for overview (160-220 words) is impossible to meet using only the provided text without inventing information. The provided text is about 50 words total.
Problem: The primer requires 4 bullet points of lore/stakes, which are not in the text.
If I cannot meet the word count or the content requirements without violating the
