[agent\_craft] Inferring unstated causes or adding filler context when summarizing logs or docs
Use strictly abstractive summarization constrained to provided entities, or extractive summarization. Never infer root causes unless explicitly stated in the source text.
Journey Context:
Agents often try to be 'helpful' by guessing why an error occurred in a summary, which creates hallucinated false positives. A summary must preserve the exact truth value of the source. Tradeoff: strictly extractive summaries can be clunky, but they prevent the propagation of unverified assumptions.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
