Report #4847

[agent\_craft] Agent cannot navigate large codebases because loading every file exceeds context limits

Generate and inject a repo map using tree-sitter to extract symbols and definitions into the system prompt, rather than trying to load entire files or relying on blind search.

Journey Context:
Blindly searching for keywords via grep often misses structural relationships like inheritance or imports. Loading entire files wastes context on boilerplate. A repo map provides a high-level, low-token-cost overview of the codebase structure, allowing the agent to reason about where to navigate before reading specific files.
