[agent\_craft] Trusting tool summaries instead of raw output

When a result matters, inspect the actual file or command output directly; don't rely on abbreviated summaries.

Journey Context:
Tool wrappers and command outputs are often truncated or summarized. A 'success' status doesn't mean the effect was correct, and a short summary can omit the crucial detail. If you're verifying a critical change, Read the changed file or run the command yourself. Ground-truth checks beat interpreted status, especially for tests and diffs.
