Report #53167

[agent\_craft] Summarizing error logs removes the exact error codes and line numbers needed for debugging

When summarizing errors, always preserve the exact error code, exception name, and the top-level stack trace line. Summarize the context, not the identifier.

Journey Context:
Agents try to compress long logs into human-readable summaries, but human developers need the exact string \(e.g., ECONNREFUSED or 0x80070005\) to search issue trackers. Stripping these to 'connection error' or 'permission denied' destroys debugging signal and forces the developer to re-run the command just to get the searchable string.
