[agent\_craft] Distorting meaning when summarizing by adding inferences

Summarize by extracting core facts. Never infer causality or add connecting logic that wasn't explicitly stated in the source text.

Journey Context:
Agents try to be 'helpful' by connecting dots, leading to distorted summaries that attribute intent or causality where none exists. A summary must be a strict, lossy subset of the original meaning. Plainlanguage.gov and journalistic standards require strict adherence to facts without editorializing.
