Report #75545

[agent\_craft] Agent loses track of cross-file dependencies when editing multiple files simultaneously, leading to broken imports or inconsistent interfaces

Maintain a dependency graph or interface contract in the system context. Before modifying a shared interface, force the agent to list all files that import it and update them in the same transaction.

Journey Context:
Context windows are flat, but codebases are graphs. When an agent edits A.py, it might forget that B.py relies on the old signature. By explicitly maintaining a list of active dependencies or using a repo-map tool, the agent can keep its mental model synchronized with the codebase graph.
