Report #59235

[agent\_craft] Agent uses stale context of a file it just modified, reverting its own changes

After a tool successfully modifies a file, invalidate the cached context of that file. Force the agent to re-read the file \(or apply the diff to the internal context\) before subsequent edits.

Journey Context:
An agent reads file A, decides to change line 10, and executes a tool to do so. Later, it needs to change line 20. If it relies on its original context of file A, it might overwrite line 10 or hallucinate the state. The context must be treated as a cache that is strictly invalidated or updated upon mutation.
