Report #7197

[agent\_craft] Agent hallucinates imports or references based on an outdated repository map generated at session start

Invalidate and regenerate the repository map \(AST summary\) dynamically after file modification tool calls, or use a just-in-time retrieval approach where the map is not kept in context, but queried via an AST tool on demand.

Journey Context:
To save tokens, agents often load a directory tree or ctags summary at initialization. As the agent creates new files or renames functions, this cached map becomes stale. The agent then tries to import from a file it just deleted. Just-in-time querying or targeted post-edit invalidation prevents the context from containing contradictory structural information, which is a primary trigger for hallucinations.
