Report #31169

[agent\_craft] Summarizing user requests drops critical constraints or adds assumed ones

Separate the goal from the constraints explicitly. Use exact quoting for measurable constraints \(e.g., 'under 100ms'\) rather than paraphrasing them into vague terms like 'fast'.

Journey Context:
LLMs naturally generalize and smooth over details to create coherent narratives. When a user specifies a hard limit, paraphrasing it into a general goal \(e.g., 'optimize performance'\) loses the acceptance criteria. Preserving exact phrasing for constraints prevents scope creep and ensures the resulting code passes validation.
