Report #2785

[agent\_craft] Summarizing logs or text by hallucinating causes or omitting critical error codes

When summarizing, preserve exact error codes, exact variable names, and exact numbers. Paraphrase the surrounding prose, but quote the critical diagnostic data verbatim.

Journey Context:
Agents try to 'understand' and rephrase everything. In diagnostics, the exact string \(e.g., 0x80004005 or NullPointerException\) is the primary search key for the human. Rephrasing 'NullPointerException' to 'a null pointer issue' destroys the exact search term, forcing the human to re-read the original log to find the literal string to grep.
