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

When summarizing technical artifacts \(stack traces, logs, long docs\), preserve exact error codes, line numbers, and key identifiers in code blocks. Summarize the context, but quote the exact signal. Never infer a root cause in a summary unless explicitly stated in the source.

Journey Context:
LLMs are prone to 'filling in the blanks' when summarizing. A log might say 'TimeoutError at line 42', and the agent summarizes it as 'Network issue causing timeouts.' This distorts the signal. AP Style guidelines on summarization emphasize accuracy over brevity; never introduce facts not in the original. In coding, an omitted error code or altered line number can cost hours of debugging. Keep the raw signal intact.
