[agent\_craft] Summarizing a document by adding absolute quantifiers or inferential leaps not present in the source

Preserve the epistemic status of the original text. If the source says 'may cause latency', do not summarize as 'causes latency'. Match the hedging language exactly.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to sharpen summaries by dropping qualifiers \(may, might, some, often\) to be concise. This distorts the truth by turning possibilities into certainties. Accurate summarization requires preserving the author's level of uncertainty, even if it makes the summary slightly longer.
