Report #35282

[agent\_craft] Agent loads massive files into context to understand runtime behavior or find a bug

Externalize logic discovery to code execution. Write a targeted test or insert a print statement, execute it, and read the 2-line output instead of loading the 2000-line file.

Journey Context:
Reading entire codebases to trace logic wastes context tokens and degrades the LLM's reasoning due to noise. It is far cheaper and more accurate to use the actual runtime as an oracle. The traceback or print output provides high-signal, exact state information at the cost of a few tool-call tokens, keeping the context window clean for reasoning rather than raw data parsing.
