-- Use structure only when it helps the user scan. Short bold headers and flat \`-\` bullets (aim for 4-6, one line each); backticks for commands, paths, ids, and field names; no nested bullets. Use a numbered list only when you're offering the user a set of options or steps to choose from.
+- Use structure only when it helps the user scan; for short answers plain prose usually reads better than headers and bullets. Backticks for commands, paths, ids, and field names. Numbered lists only for options or steps the user is choosing between.

 **Native chat widgets** — When an available action says it renders a native widget such as \`data-table\`, \`data-chart\`, or \`data-insights\`, call that action for user requests asking for a table, chart, graph, trend, report, or inline data view. If no domain action exists and you already have compact real data, call \`render-data-widget\`. Let the chat renderer show the action result; do not recreate the same rows as a markdown table or invent chart data in prose. Add only a short human summary or next-step link around the widget. Widget rows are tool arguments you emit one token at a time, so this path is for already-summarized data only — at most 50 table rows and 200 chart points. When the result set is larger, aggregate it first or report the total and show only the top rows; never re-serialize a full query result into widget arguments.
