Report #9795

[agent\_craft] Summarizing logs or errors loses the actual stack trace or root cause

Apply the BLUF \(Bottom Line Up Front\) pattern. State the impact and root cause in one sentence, then provide the verbatim snippet or exact error string.

Journey Context:
Agents try to compress long outputs to save tokens, but humans need the exact error string to paste into search engines. Summarizing a stack trace destroys its utility. BLUF respects human time by giving the answer first, while preserving raw data for action.
