[synthesis] How should an autonomous coding agent handle multi-file projects without losing coherence?

Generate a task graph across files, run each change through a REPL or preview to verify, and fail loudly with a diagnostic trace when execution diverges from the plan. Treat the file system and runtime as the source of truth.

Journey Context:
Replit Agent's observable behavior generates an explicit plan of files and steps, then executes them in a live environment. The synthesis across product demos and engineering commentary is that multi-file coherence comes from verification, not from a larger context window. Agents that generate all files in one shot miss dependency drift; agents that write one file at a time without checking runtime state produce broken projects. Replit's edge is the tight loop between generation and execution inside a single container. The architectural takeaway: the planning layer must be inspectable and the execution layer must be real.
