Report #14772

[agent\_craft] Agent repeatedly re-reads the same core files \(like package.json or main.py\) across turns because they fall out of the context window

Use prompt caching or a 'working context' block that explicitly loads and pins the project's dependency graph and core schemas into the system prompt or a persistent context window section.

Journey Context:
Agents waste tokens and time re-discovering the project structure every few turns. As the conversation grows, the initial file reads scroll out of the window. The agent then has to cat package.json again to remember what libraries are available. The right call is to establish a 'project map' or 'working memory' that gets prepended/cached at the start of every turn, ensuring the agent always has the architectural skeleton available without re-querying it.
