Report #87461

[agent\_craft] Agent loses track of project structure and cross-file dependencies when context window fills with individual file contents

Inject a dynamically generated 'repo map' \(e.g., using tree-sitter to extract class and function signatures\) into the context instead of full file contents, allowing the agent to request full files only when needed.

Journey Context:
Loading entire files into the context to understand the codebase quickly exhausts the window and causes context rot. Conversely, relying purely on semantic search misses structural relationships \(inheritance, imports\). A compact repo map provides the 'skeleton' of the codebase, giving the agent global awareness without consuming the context budget, acting as an index for targeted retrieval.
