Report #14087

[agent\_craft] Agent hallucinates API usage because it didn't load the right project files, or loads everything and runs out of context

Use a map-reduce approach: first load the directory structure and signatures \(map\), then selectively load full implementations only for relevant files \(reduce\).

Journey Context:
Loading the entire codebase is impossible for large projects. Loading nothing leads to hallucinations. The optimal strategy is to build an AST-based map of the codebase \(signatures, docstrings\) which fits easily in context. The agent uses this map to decide which specific files to read in full, minimizing context usage while maximizing relevance.
