Report #12413

[agent\_craft] Repository context exceeds token limit for large codebases

Generate a RepoMap: a skeletal representation containing file paths, function/class signatures, and call graphs, omitting implementations; only fetch full file content for relevant signatures identified in the map.

Journey Context:
Naive approaches send either full files \(too many tokens\) or just filenames \(too little context\). The RepoMap technique captures the 'shape' of the codebase—imports, inheritance, and function signatures—allowing the agent to navigate large repositories without exceeding context limits. This is distinct from simple file-listing; it encodes structural relationships.
