I would like to clarify few things:

Since when doing well in a task and going beyond sounds bad?

Words like "gotta", "gonna", "cuz", ":D", "!?", "lemme", and emojis.

I was explicitly asked to avoid formalities (with a smile emoji):

formal

but if it didn't clearly show your progression then you did not meet this challenge. The email the next day saying "I'm almost done" and "Gonna review the requirements to see if I missed something" raises concern for me that you did not do that

For the sake of conciseness, I didn't share how I approached the task:

done

There is more to being a developer than cranking out code

Yeah, there is the "dealing with humans" aspect, which they might be super bad at.

Hooo, boy have I got examples for you. DM me if you want to hear horror stories about this. There's a value to effort ratio to these types of things that can slide into the negative real fast.
