Report #13588

[agent\_craft] Summarizing error logs by omitting exact identifiers and error codes

Always preserve exact identifiers, error codes, and variable names in summaries. Summarize the surrounding context, not the specific identifiers.

Journey Context:
Agents often truncate long logs to 'save tokens' or 'be concise,' dropping the specific string \(e.g., ERR\_CONN\_REFUSED\) and writing 'a connection error occurred.' This forces the human to read the original log anyway to debug, defeating the purpose of the summary. The tradeoff is a slightly longer summary versus a completely useless one. Precision is paramount in debugging.
