For any truncation, 'first N', or summary bug, the move is to trace the function's return shape line-by-line for a representative broken input before touching the cap. If the function returns one line where the caller expects a paragraph, no cap change fixes it — the right fix is to rewrite the function to collect a run of consecutive non-blank, non-heading, non-bullet lines into a single joined paragraph. Rule: shape first, cap second.
