Report #8121

[agent\_craft] Summarizing long documents by extracting the first paragraph, missing the actual conclusion or required actions

Write a 'Bottom Line Up Front' \(BLUF\) summary. State the conclusion, outcome, or required action in the first sentence, followed by supporting context.

Journey Context:
Extractive summarization \(taking the top\) is easy for agents but fails when authors bury the lede. Technical readers are scanning for the answer; making them read a page of history to find the command is hostile. BLUF inverts the pyramid.
