Customer-reported issue: agent responses render badly in narrow chat surfaces (Microsoft Copilot side panel, Copilot Studio test pane, Teams) — markdown tables get character-wrapped vertically and become unreadable. Root cause: the agent's instructions explicitly directed it to use markdown tables for Session List, Issues Detected, and Keyword Search output. The "Detailed Findings" format (headings + bullets) renders cleanly across all surfaces; this PR extends that pattern to the other response types. Changes: - Rewrote Response Formatting section in agent instructions to use headings + bullet lists instead of wide markdown tables. Reference tables (Available Tools, Time Unit Handling, Pattern-Specific Research, Performance Thresholds) left unchanged — they are agent reference data, not response templates. - Added Important Guideline #6: "Never output markdown tables in responses." - Bumped solution version 1.0.0.4 → 1.0.0.5; renamed TraceParser_1_0_0_4.zip → TraceParser_1_0_0_5.zip. - Rebuilt TPA - Solution Files V1.zip with the updated nested zip. - Updated Solutions/readme.md to reference the new filename.
