Report #10239

[agent\_craft] Summarization distorts original requirements or constraints

Preserve exact modal verbs \(must, should, may\) from the source text in quotes; summarize only the surrounding context.

Journey Context:
Agents compress text to save tokens, but compression often strips nuance, turning a 'should not' into a 'not,' or dropping a conditional. RFC 2119 defines a strict vocabulary for requirement levels. Dropping these verbs changes the fundamental meaning of the spec, leading to over-engineering or compliance failures.
