Report #16987

[agent\_craft] Agent repeatedly reads the same core files over and over across turns, wasting tokens and latency

Maintain a sticky project manifest that is always injected into the system prompt, containing the high-level architecture, key file paths, and schemas.

Journey Context:
Agents often lose track of the macro-architecture and re-read files to re-orient themselves. By maintaining a curated, updated manifest of the project structure, the agent has a persistent map, preventing redundant read operations and keeping the context focused on the current task.
