Report #1635

[agent\_craft] Agent lacks global project structure awareness leading to duplicate implementations

Generate and inject a compressed repo map of class and function signatures into the system prompt instead of reading all files.

Journey Context:
Agents cannot read every file in a large codebase. If they only read the immediate file, they often recreate utilities that exist elsewhere. Naively reading all files blows the context window. A repo map provides a 'table of contents'. The tradeoff is a slightly larger system prompt vs. global navigational awareness. Signatures consume few tokens but provide immense context, allowing the agent to know what exists before reading implementations.
