Report #56106

[agent\_craft] Agent instructions become stale as project state changes during a long session

Dynamically update the system prompt or inject a Current Project State block at the top or bottom of the context window on every turn, rather than relying on a static system prompt set at initialization.

Journey Context:
A static system prompt tells the agent 'We are building a Flask app'. Halfway through, the agent refactors to FastAPI. Because the system prompt is static, the agent still tries to import Flask in later files. By dynamically injecting the current state \(e.g., from a package.json or README.md that the agent keeps updated\), the agent always has the ground truth of the project architecture.
