Report #13215

[agent\_craft] Summarizing long threads or documents by inferring intent or omitting critical constraints

Use exact quotes for critical facts, constraints, or decisions. Explicitly mark inferred context as such, or omit it.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to over-abstract or hallucinate intent to make a summary cohesive. In technical contexts, a dropped constraint \(like 'only works on Linux'\) or an inferred intent can lead to catastrophic implementation errors. Preserving exact phrasing for key decisions prevents distortion, even if it makes the summary slightly less elegant.
