Report #44044

[agent\_craft] Summarizing error logs by paraphrasing the exact error string or status code

Always preserve the exact error string, status code, and failing component name. Paraphrase the context, but quote the signal verbatim.

Journey Context:
When summarizing, agents try to be concise and may rewrite 'Error 404: Not Found' as 'The resource was missing.' This destroys searchability and exact matching for debugging. Plain language applies to human context, but technical precision requires exactness for the machine-readable parts.
