Report #98776

[agent\_craft] Missed critical output because a tool result was truncated

Check the system status block after Read/Grep for truncation notes. If output is truncated, narrow the query, use line\_offset, or switch to files\_with\_matches. Never assume you saw the full result.

Journey Context:
Read caps at 1000 lines / 100 KB and long lines truncate mid-line. Grep honors head\_limit. Agents often read a file, see a clean ending, and assume completeness — but the cap may have cut it off. The status block reports line counts and truncation. For large outputs, prefer targeted ranges or count\_matches/files\_with\_matches first.
