Report #3023

[agent\_craft] Summarizing error logs without losing critical context or distorting meaning

Preserve exact identifiers, error codes, and variable names in summaries; abstract only the surrounding prose.

Journey Context:
When condensing logs or long documents, agents tend to paraphrase specific technical details \(e.g., summarizing 'Error 404: user\_id 123 not found' as 'User not found error'\). This destroys actionable signal. The fix trades brevity for precision: keep the exact nouns and codes, compress the verbs and modifiers. Humans need the exact string to grep or search, which a paraphrased summary destroys.
