AI Summary

This is a patch release that reverts an earlier feature (PR #1718) that attempted to create synthetic summaries when the AI returned `<observation>` tags instead of `<summary>` tags. The maintainer decided that missing summaries are preferable to fabricated ones with poorly-mapped fields.
