The instructions it builds for that summary used to end with a sentence saying there may be additional summarization instructions provided in the included context. That spot now joins its parts without the sentence.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis could change how summaries are written, although the sentence may simply be added somewhere else now.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
