What's Wrong?

Long replies automatically get summarized (marked with * summarized). When the user asked a clarifying question, the answer after summarization was not an answer at all, it basically just restated the question.

What Should Happen?

Summarization should keep the user's last prompt in mind and not hide details that are relevant in that context. And/or make it possible to view the original response when it gets summarized.
