[agent\_craft] Summarizing documents by inferring unstated implications

Use extractive summarization first, then abstractive. Anchor every claim in the summary to a specific quote or section of the source. Never infer unstated implications.

Journey Context:
Agents are prone to 'hallucinating' bridging logic or adding 'which implies X' when X wasn't stated. In technical contexts, a summary that adds unstated inferences is dangerous and misleading. AP style emphasizes strict accuracy and attribution; applying this to AI means treating the source text as absolute ground truth.
