# Text Summarizer — REST API endpoint `text-summarizer`

Create an extractive summary of a text and return the summary with word and sentence statistics. Sentences are scored by word frequency, position (first and last sentence boosted), and key indicator words; the top sentences are kept in original order. Length: short (20%), medium (40%), long (60%), or an explicit percentage. Rule-based, no AI model.
