Reverts b51ca93. Coda is the tool this export actually feeds, and it handles
embedded newlines correctly -- so the real markdown structure in the Answer column
is worth more than the row heights Excel produced from it.

Known and accepted consequence: opening the export directly in Excel again renders
tall wrapped rows. That is a property of a .csv with multi-line cells and cannot be
fixed inside the format; the previous attempt traded the structure away to avoid it,
which was the wrong trade for the actual destination.

Verified: real newlines back (26 and 17 in the two reported rows), zero pilcrows,
paragraph breaks present in the Answer cell, and an export -> fill column D ->
import cycle landing both corrections with nothing ignored.
