Report #11258

[agent\_craft] Context window exceeded when sending entire repository files for code completion

Use outline-mode retrieval: feed LLM file skeletons \(signatures/imports\) for all files, then full content only for retrieved relevant chunks. Structure as ....... Skip boilerplate with '\[...\]'

Journey Context:
Naive RAG retrieves chunks but loses file-level structure \(imports, class hierarchy\), causing hallucinations. Full-file context burns tokens on boilerplate. The skeleton\+full hybrid preserves architectural context at low cost while delivering detailed implementations where needed. Alternative 'summary' approach loses precise signatures. This pattern is proven in repository-level code completion systems.
