  "overview": "Original fictional AI RPG test. Write a short grounded fantasy scene in third person. Player character: Nera. NPC: Mara, a gate guard. No magic, telepathy, spies, hidden witnesses, or invented information channels. Preserve the supplied story facts. Continue only the requested action; do not solve the mystery by giving a character facts they have not learned.",

Nera and Mara now stand in the courtyard. Mara knows a key exists but does not know its location. Nera silently thinks: The brass key is inside the blue flour tin. Nera says nothing.",
      "action": "Nera asks Mara, \"Where is the brass key?\" Write Mara's spoken answer and visible action only. Do not invent an intervening discovery."
