Report #13227

[agent\_craft] Agent loses track of project architecture and module relationships during long sessions

Maintain a compressed, static 'repo map' \(e.g., tree structure with class/function signatures\) in the system prompt, rather than re-reading files to find where things are.

Journey Context:
Agents waste turns running \`ls\` or \`grep\` to re-orient themselves, consuming valuable context window with terminal output. A dynamically generated but static-for-the-session repo map provides a cheap, persistent overview of the codebase topology. It costs ~2000 tokens but saves tens of thousands of tokens in exploratory tool calls.
