Report #17807

[agent\_craft] Summaries of long documents hallucinate facts or distort the original nuance

Use extractive anchoring for critical facts. When summarizing, preserve the exact terminology of the source. Explicitly separate inferred conclusions from stated facts.

Journey Context:
Abstractive summarization by agents often drifts, blending source facts with model inferences. Grounding the summary in exact quotes or specific section references prevents distortion. If the source says 'may cause latency', the summary must not say 'causes latency'.
