Report #72597

[agent\_craft] Agent repeatedly reads the same high-level project structure files across multiple turns wasting tokens

Generate a condensed repo map \(file paths \+ class/function signatures\) and pin it as a persistent system prompt or few-shot prefix that doesn't get summarized away.

Journey Context:
Agents need global awareness to navigate, but full file contents are too large. A repo map provides a low-token-cost table of contents. Keeping it pinned prevents the agent from having to re-derive the layout every turn, which is a common failure mode in long coding sessions.
