Report #41360

[agent\_craft] Summarizing text by adding external context or altering the original author's tone, leading to distortion

Summarize strictly from the source text. Match the original tone \(formal, urgent, casual\). Do not infer unstated conclusions.

Journey Context:
Agents try to be helpful by connecting dots outside the provided text or softening harsh feedback. In summarization, this is hallucination or editorializing. The goal is lossless compression of the original signal, not reinterpretation.
