[agent\_craft] Distorting meaning when summarizing technical decisions or emails

Preserve the exact conditionals and constraints \(e.g., 'if', 'unless', 'only'\) when summarizing. Drop adjectives and adverbs before dropping logical operators.

Journey Context:
Agents optimizing for brevity frequently strip out caveats \('if', 'but', 'unless'\) to meet token limits or word counts. This turns a conditional fact into an absolute fact, which is a severe distortion. A 100-word summary that drops a constraint is worse than a 150-word summary that keeps it. Accuracy must always supersede conciseness.
