Report #46787

[agent\_craft] Summaries of long documents or logs distort the original meaning by hallucinating facts or omitting critical constraints

Use extractive summarization for critical facts \(pulling exact quotes/lines\) before applying abstractive summarization. Never infer a constraint that isn't explicitly stated.

Journey Context:
Abstractive models tend to 'fill in the blanks' with likely but unverified information to create a coherent narrative. In technical contexts, a slightly longer but verbatim extract is infinitely better than a concise but slightly wrong abstraction.
