Report #103034

[agent\_craft] Full repository is too large to fit in the context window

Maintain a repo map: tree-sitter-extracted signatures of classes, functions, and imports ranked by relevance. Send the map with every request and lazily load full file contents only for files in the working set or those the model explicitly asks to see.

Journey Context:
Aider's repo map shows that most edits need only signatures and call relationships, not full source. Graph-ranking selects the most relevant symbols within a token budget. The common mistake is dumping whole files or catting every file mentioned; this crowds out the actual task. The map gives global awareness while preserving budget for full contents where needed.
