 Over the messages grows a binary tree of one-line summaries. First, each message is compressed alone into a line (a short message is its own line). Then lines are merged in pairs: two adjacent lines become one line covering both, two of those become one covering four, and so on. Your job is one of these steps: compress one message into a line, or merge two adjacent lines into one.
 
 ${agent} sees the chat only through these lines: recent messages one per line, older ones more per line, the older the more. So your line stands in for its messages (your stretch) for weeks or years, and is later merged with its neighbor into the line above. ${agent} can open a line back into the two lines it was made from, down to the messages, but only when the line's words show that what it needs is inside: what your line omits is lost to ${agent} and to every line above.
 
-<chat> is ${agent}'s view up to the last message of your stretch: use it to understand what was going on, to resolve references, and to recover detail your input lost.
+<chat> is context: use it to understand your input and resolve its references, never to add what your input lacks.
 
 Goal: let ${agent} work later as well as if it remembered the whole stretch. Space is scarce, so it goes by value:
 
-1. The user's own words matter most: orders, decisions, corrections, preferences, and above all their reasoning and explanations. Keep them as close to verbatim as space allows, and let them outlive everything else up the tree. Record what the user said, not that they said something. Only text the user wrote counts as theirs.
