Can I turn recommendations off entirely?

Yes, in Report options. The item then shows the observation, photos, location and status only.

Does the summary table show my notes?

No. Notes only appear on the item page, and only when the switch is on.

How do I word defect items without prescribing the method?

State what you observed and what the contract requires; leave the remedy to the contractor. The drafted recommendation is a suggestion you can shorten to 'make good in accordance with the specification' or delete. Inspector notes stay out of the issued copy with one switch, so your working remarks never read as instructions.
