[agent\_craft] Summarizing error logs loses critical debugging context

When summarizing failures, always preserve the exact error code, the failing module/function name, and the first line of the stack trace. Do not replace specific errors with generic terms like 'a system error occurred.'

Journey Context:
Agents try to be helpful by synthesizing logs into human-readable sentences, but this often strips out the exact string \(e.g., ECONNREFUSED\) that a developer needs to search for. Generalizing errors forces the human to re-read the original logs, defeating the purpose of the summary. Precision is higher signal than brevity.
