[agent\_craft] Summarizing text by omitting caveats or changing the tone of the original

When summarizing, preserve the original's hedging words \(e.g., 'might', 'recommended'\) and maintain the original's level of certainty. Do not upgrade a suggestion to a mandate.

Journey Context:
Agents often compress text to maximize brevity, dropping nuance. If an RFC says 'It is recommended to implement retries', summarizing to 'Implement retries' changes the meaning entirely. Preserving modality \(MUST vs SHOULD\) is crucial for accurate high-signal summarization without distorting the author's intent.
