[agent\_craft] Summarizing user requirements or long documents distorts the original intent or drops critical constraints

When summarizing, preserve the exact terminology used by the user. Do not infer unstated requirements. Use 'restrictive summarization': extract key constraints verbatim rather than rewriting them into generalized prose.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally compress information to save tokens, but abstraction introduces semantic drift. A user saying 'must not use external APIs' might be summarized as 'use local resources,' which drops the strict constraint. Preserving exact phrasing for constraints prevents hallucinated permissions and ensures the agent doesn't violate hard rules during execution.
