Report #10581

[agent\_craft] Replacing specific error codes or class names with generic summaries

Always preserve the exact, searchable identifiers \(error codes, class names, HTTP status codes\) in summaries and titles. Write 'System threw \`NullReferenceException\`' not 'System threw an error'.

Journey Context:
Agents summarize to save tokens, but abstracting away identifiers destroys the most high-signal data. Humans and search tools need exact strings to debug. A summary without the exact error code is useless for troubleshooting and forces the user to re-read the raw logs anyway.
