Report #55385

[agent\_craft] Summarizing technical specifications drops critical edge cases and constraints

When summarizing specs, extract constraints into a dedicated 'Constraints' or 'Requirements' bulleted list rather than paraphrasing them into the narrative flow. Preserve exact threshold values \(e.g., 'max 1000 RPM'\) verbatim.

Journey Context:
LLMs naturally optimize for brevity and fluency, which often means abstracting away specific numbers or 'except when' clauses into general statements. In engineering, the edge cases are the spec. Plainlanguage.gov emphasizes organizing content to meet user needs, and for developers, the 'need' is the exact boundary condition. Paraphrasing 'must not exceed 5MB' to 'keep it small' is a lossy, dangerous translation.
