It should be a distillation of the session and/or the prompts, at bare minimum. No, it should not include e.g. research-type questions, but it should include prompts that the user wrote after reading the answers to those research-type questions, and perhaps some distillation of the links / references surfaced during the research.

Prompts probably should be distilled / summarized, especially if they are research-based prompts, but code-gen prompts should probably be saved verbatim.

Reproducibility is a thing, and though perfect reproducibility isn't desirable, something needs to make up for the fact that vibe-coding is highly inscrutable and hard to review. Making the summary of the session too vague / distilled makes it hard to iterate and improve when / if some bad prompts / assumptions are not documented in any way.
