45.2 Outputs are correct but messy

The Chatty Model

Model: "Sure! Here is the JSON you asked for. I hope it helps!"

Fix: Add "Output ONLY the raw JSON string. No preamble. No postscript."

Markdown Leakage

Model: ```json { "key": "value" } ```

Fix: Your parser needs to strip the triple backticks. Or, prompt: "Do not use markdown code blocks."
