HoweverI apparently forgot my plan (doing this late at night) and poured the crack isolation membrane directly to the concrete subfloor prior to concrete leveling instead of the dedicated concrete leveler.

Most self leveling compounds require a primer over bare concrete. The reason is not adhesion (it'll stick to concrete just fine) but to prevent the concrete from sucking the water out of the self leveling compound, which makes it harden in place too fast before it has time to smooth itself.

Mapelastic AquaDefense provides a thin, continuous barrier to protect adjacent rooms and floors below from water damage.
