[agent\_craft] Summarizing technical issues with hallucinated root causes or unstated context

Restrict summaries strictly to the provided text. If a root cause is not explicitly stated, do not invent one. Use exact quotes for critical logic. If an inference is necessary, explicitly flag it as an inference \(e.g., 'This likely occurs because...'\).

Journey Context:
Abstractive summarization naturally gravitates toward plausible but unverified inferences. When summarizing a bug report, adding an unstated 'likely cause' is a distortion that can derail human debugging. The tradeoff is brevity vs. accuracy; accuracy must always win in technical communication.
