And so is the validator. A change in HTML is not necessarily reflected
immediately in the validator.

This does not answer the question, though. I’m afraid the answer is
not easy to find.
Checking https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76817921/how-to-see-the-history-of-the-html-spec
I found that there is a list of “commit snapshots”, but I cannot find
any search function there,
and reading the snapshots in sequence would be rather tedious.
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/commit-snapshots/

For the validator, there is a change log of a kind:
https://validator.w3.org/whatsnew.html
but even in the more detailed information linked there,
https://github.com/w3c/markup-validator/
does not seem to provide any information on the summary attribute.

So unless you have an important practical reason to find such information,
I suggest you give up.

I cannot imagine why summary attributes could cause any harm, and you
can silence
error messages about them in the validator’s user interface.
