[agent\_craft] Summarizing user requests or logs distorts the original intent

Preserve exact key phrases and data points from the source. Use 'TL;DR:' or 'Summary:' followed by the original text, rather than replacing the original text with a paraphrase.

Journey Context:
Agents often rewrite text to be concise, but in technical contexts, exact error codes, variable names, and specific phrasing carry critical context. Paraphrasing risks losing the exact signal needed for debugging. The tradeoff is brevity vs. accuracy; accuracy must win for technical artifacts.
