Report #39607

[agent\_craft] Agent summarizes code to save tokens, then hallucinates API signatures later

Use AST-based structured extraction \(e.g., extracting class definitions, method signatures, and docstrings\) rather than prose summarization for code context.

Journey Context:
Prose summaries are lossy for syntax. An LLM summary of a file might say 'handles user auth', but the agent needs to know if it is login\(user\) or authenticate\(id\). Tree-sitter based repo maps preserve the exact API surface without the implementation noise, maintaining the compile-ability of the agent's mental model.
