Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "Will & Grace" Season 3.
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/bullet points in the text (though the primer is an array). Output valid JSON only.
Input Data:
TMDB Season Synopsis: Will (Eric McCormack) returns from a tropical island. Grace (Debra Messing) is torn between two boyfriends. Grace and Jack (Sean Hayes) have bonded.
Source [1]: Will Truman and Grace Adler are best friends living in New York.
Source [2]: Christina Moore has starred in Will & Grace.
Source [3]: Wikidata link (no content provided).
Source [4]: Mentions Grace, Prepon, Kutcher in context of a different show/spinoff (irrelevant/misleading context).
Source [5]: Mentions Carla Gugino plays Grace in "The Girls on the Bus" (irrelevant).
Overview Requirement: 160-220 words.
Available Facts:
Will Truman (Eric McCormack) returns from a stay on a tropical island.
Grace Adler (Debra Messing) is torn between two boyfriends.
Jack (Sean Hayes) and Grace have bonded.
Will and Grace are best friends living in New York.
Problem: The provided synopsis is extremely short. It's impossible to reach 160-220 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden ("You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess").
Conflict Resolution: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary, but the source material only provides about 40 words of actual plot. If I follow the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules, I cannot meet the word count requirement. However, in these types of LLM tasks, usually, the word count is a target. But the instruction "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" is a hard constraint.
Wait, let me re-read. If I cannot reach the word count without violating the "no invention" rule, I must prioritize the "no invention" rule. However, I will try to expand the prose as much as possible using the available facts without adding new ones.
