Report #2701

[agent\_craft] Loading every source file into context wastes tokens and overloads attention.

Build a compact repo map of file names, top-level symbols, and call signatures; let the agent read full files only when the map shows they're relevant.

Journey Context:
Aider demonstrated that a token-budgeted repo map gives an agent enough structural awareness to navigate and edit large codebases without full dumps. PageRank on the symbol-reference graph selects the most relevant portions. Full dumps also cost more and cause the model to miss dependencies. The map should be hierarchical: always include structure, dynamically include selected file contents.
