Report #9193

[agent\_craft] Agent re-reads the same files or re-discovers the same project structure on every new turn or sub-task

Maintain a structured 'Working Memory' or 'Project State' object \(e.g., a JSON file or dedicated context block\) that tracks discovered entities \(files, classes, APIs\). Update this object programmatically and inject it into the system prompt, rather than relying on the conversational history to carry the project layout.

Journey Context:
Conversational history is a poor database. As the agent explores, the context window gets polluted with redundant cat and ls outputs. By externalizing the project map into a structured state object, the agent can quickly reference the project layout without re-reading files or relying on the raw chat history, freeing up the context window for the actual problem-solving logic.
