[agent\_craft] Summarizing long issue threads without losing the final resolution

Structure summaries as: \[Problem\], \[Key Debate/Blocker\], \[Final Resolution/Action\]. Weight the final resolution heavily; do not give equal space to early, discarded ideas.

Journey Context:
Agents often treat issue threads as flat text, summarizing chronologically or giving equal weight to all comments. This buries the lede. In issue trackers, the most critical information is the final decision. Applying the inverted pyramid structure from journalism ensures the developer gets the answer immediately, with context available if needed.
