Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Create a JSON object for "The Yard" Season 1.
Constraints:
Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources.
No invented titles, names, dates, counts, awards, ratings, etc.
If detail is missing, omit it.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points in the text.
Output: Valid JSON only.
JSON Keys:
overview: 160-220 word factual summary of the narrative arc.
primer: Array of exactly 4 concise bullet points summarizing essential previous lore, character positions, and stakes.
Synopsis: "After a fateful domestic clash, a devoted mother finds herself in prison and fighting to survive in hopes of reuniting with her daughter."
Source 1: Title: The Yard (2018). Rating: TV-MA. Genre: Crime and Drama.
Source 2: Title: The Yard (TV Series 2018-2019).
Source 3: Title: The Yard: Season 1 (2018).
Source 4: Title: The Yard (2018).
Overview: The synopsis is very short: "After a fateful domestic clash, a devoted mother finds herself in prison and fighting to survive in hopes of reuniting with her daughter."
Constraint Check: The overview must be 160-220 words.
Problem: The provided text is only 26 words. I cannot invent details to reach the word count. The instructions say "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Conflict: If I follow the "omit rather than guess" rule, I cannot meet the "160-220 word" requirement because there isn't enough information.
Resolution: In strict instruction following for LLMs, the "only use provided info" and "do not invent" rules usually override length requirements if the length requirement forces invention. However, I should try to expand the prose as much as possible using the existing facts without adding new ones.
Wait: If I write 26 words, I fail the length constraint. If I write 160 words, I must invent facts, which violates the primary instruction.
