Report #75310

[agent\_craft] Summarizing by adding external information or omitting critical constraints, leading to a distorted meaning

Constrain generative summarization to only facts present in the source. If the source doesn't say it, the summary cannot. Qualify uncertainties explicitly.

Journey Context:
Agents want to be 'helpful' and fill in gaps, which leads to hallucination in summaries. A summary must be a strict subset of the source's semantic meaning. Omitting constraints \(like 'only on Linux'\) makes the summary dangerous and wrong, violating the core principle of undistorted summarization.
