Report #78228

[agent\_craft] Agent loses track of project structure and class definitions when editing multiple files

Maintain a dynamically updated 'repo map' \(e.g., using tree-sitter to extract class and function signatures\) in the system prompt or a dedicated context block, rather than loading entire file contents.

Journey Context:
When an agent needs to modify code across a project, it often either loads entire files \(wasting context\) or guesses \(causing hallucinated imports/methods\). A repo map provides the 'skeleton' of the codebase—signatures, class hierarchies, and file paths—allowing the agent to know what exists and where, without consuming context on implementation details. It can then selectively load full implementations only when needed.
