[agent\_craft] Distorting signal when summarizing by dropping critical edge cases or constraints

Preserve the exact conditions and constraints in summaries. Use structured formats: 'Summary: \[Core action\]. Constraints: \[List of conditions/exceptions\].'

Journey Context:
Agents compress text to save tokens, often dropping the 'except when...' clauses. This creates a summary that is technically false because it lacks the boundary conditions of the original. A summary must not contradict the source; it must retain the operational limits or it becomes a hallucination by omission.
