-### 7. **Improved Error Handling**
+### 8. **HF V2 Summary Length Issues**
+
+**Problem:** Hugging Face V2 summaries were consistently too short and incomplete
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Summaries felt abbreviated and lacking important details
+- Users reported missing key information
+- Output was only 64-128 tokens (2-3x shorter than expected)
+
+**Root Cause:**
+- **Low token generation limits**: Default `hf_max_new_tokens` was only 64-128 tokens
+- **Premature stopping**: No minimum token floor to prevent early end-of-sequence (EOS)
+- **Limited input processing**: Encoder max length was capped at 512-1024 tokens
+- **No length optimization**: Missing `length_penalty` and repetition controls
+- **Configuration mismatch**: Settings optimized for speed, not completeness
+
+**Impact:**
+- Incomplete summaries missing key arguments and details
+- Poor user experience with inadequate information
+- Reduced usefulness of the summarization feature
+- Confusion about why summaries were so brief
+
+**Solution:** Implemented comprehensive summarization enhancement strategy
+
+**Configuration Changes:**
+```python
+# Before (short summaries)
+max_new_tokens = 64-128  # Too short
+min_new_tokens = None    # No floor
+length_penalty = None    # No encouragement
+max_length = 512-1024    # Limited input
+
+# After (comprehensive summaries)
+max_new_tokens = max(settings.hf_max_new_tokens, 256)  # Minimum 256
+min_new_tokens = max(96, min(192, max_new_tokens // 2))  # Floor 96-192
+length_penalty = 1.1  # Encourage longer outputs
+max_length = min(model_max_length, 2048)  # Up to 2048 tokens
+no_repeat_ngram_size = 3  # Reduce repetition
+repetition_penalty = 1.05  # Smooth flow
+```
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+1. **Increased default limits**: Minimum 256 tokens (4x increase from 64)
+2. **Added minimum floor**: 96-192 token minimum to prevent premature stopping
+3. **Expanded input capacity**: 2048 token limit (2-4x increase from 512-1024)
+4. **Length incentives**: `length_penalty=1.1` encourages longer outputs on encoder-decoder models
+5. **Repetition controls**: `no_repeat_ngram_size=3` and `repetition_penalty=1.05` for better flow
+6. **Chunking support**: Helper function for very long texts (>18k characters)
+7. **Defensive coding**: Added torch availability checks for test compatibility
+
+**Expected Performance Results:**
+| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
+|--------|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **Summary Length** | 64-128 tokens | 256+ tokens | **2-3x longer** |
+| **Input Capacity** | 512-1024 tokens | 2048 tokens | **2-4x larger** |
+| **Completeness** | Incomplete | Comprehensive | **Much better detail** |
+| **Early Stopping** | Common | Prevented | **More reliable** |
+| **User Experience** | Poor (too short) | Good | **Significant improvement** |
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Comprehensive summaries with complete information
+- ✅ Better user experience with adequate detail coverage
+- ✅ Prevents premature stopping with minimum token floor
+- ✅ Handles longer input texts with expanded capacity
+- ✅ Encourages longer outputs with length_penalty parameter
+- ✅ Reduces repetition with proper ngram and penalty controls
+- ✅ Future-proof with chunking support for very long texts
+
+**Key Insight:** Token generation limits should be configured for task requirements, not just model defaults. Comprehensive summaries need adequate token budgets and proper generation parameters to prevent premature stopping and encourage complete coverage.

+### 10. **Summarization Configuration Must Match Task Requirements**
+
+**Problem:**
+- Default token generation settings optimized for speed, not completeness
+- Insufficient token budgets (64-128 tokens) for comprehensive summaries
+- No controls to prevent premature stopping or encourage longer outputs
+
+**Root Cause:**
+- **Configuration mismatch**: Settings don't align with user expectations for comprehensive summaries
+- **Missing controls**: No minimum token floor, length incentives, or repetition management
+- **Limited input processing**: Low encoder limits restrict what can be analyzed
+
+**Learning:**
+- **Task-specific configuration**: Different tasks (speed vs. completeness) require different settings
+- **Token budgets matter**: Comprehensive summaries need 200-400+ tokens, not 64-128
+- **Generation parameters are critical**: `length_penalty`, `min_new_tokens`, and repetition controls significantly impact output quality
+- **Input capacity affects output**: Larger input limits (2048 vs 512) enable better analysis of longer documents
+- **Test compatibility**: Adding defensive checks for optional dependencies prevents test failures
+
+**Best Practice:**
+```python
+# Good - Comprehensive summarization configuration
+max_new_tokens = max(config_value, 256)  # Ensure minimum adequacy
+min_new_tokens = max(96, min(192, max_new_tokens // 2))  # Prevent early stop
+length_penalty = 1.1  # Encourage complete coverage
+max_length = min(model_max, 2048)  # Allow substantial input
+
+# Bad - Generic speed-optimized configuration
+max_new_tokens = 128  # Too short for comprehensive summaries
+min_new_tokens = None  # Early stopping allowed
+length_penalty = None  # No encouragement
+max_length = 512  # Too restrictive for longer documents
