[agent\_craft] Summarizing code changes without losing context or distorting intent

Summarize the 'why' and 'what' from the user's perspective, not the 'how' from the code's perspective. Avoid line-by-line diff translations like 'Changed variable X to Y'; instead write 'Fixed the timeout error by increasing the connection limit.'

Journey Context:
Agents often summarize diffs by reading the patch literally, resulting in useless tautologies. The reader already knows a variable changed; they need to know the business logic or bug fix that change accomplishes. Translating implementation to intent is the core value of a summary.
