Report #91971
[agent\_craft] Agent pulls in entire dependency source code into context to use an API
Retrieve only the type signatures and docstrings of dependencies, keeping the implementation out of the main context window unless explicitly debugging that library.
Journey Context:
When an agent needs to use an API, it often tries to read the entire source file of the library. This is a massive waste of context. Type signatures and docstrings provide the contract the agent needs to write correct code. Only if the agent encounters a bug inside the dependency should it fetch the implementation. This mirrors how human developers use IDEs.
