No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points (except within the JSON array for the primer, though the prompt says "no bullet points" in the prose instructions, but the primer key requires "exactly 4 concise bullet points").

However, the primer key asks for "an array of exactly 4 concise bullet points". In JSON, an array of strings is the standard way to represent bullet points. I will provide an array of 4 strings.
