Report #98775

[agent\_craft] Got lost in a large codebase and made changes without understanding the architecture

Delegate broad, read-only exploration to an explore subagent when you need more than three searches. Keep the main thread for decisions and edits. Summarize the subagent's findings before acting.

Journey Context:
Deep codebase exploration consumes turns and fragments context. A dedicated subagent can search many files in parallel and return a compact summary. The parent agent must not blindly trust the summary — use it to inform targeted reads of the actual code. The threshold of 'more than 3 searches' is a useful heuristic; below that, direct tools are faster because subagent handoff has overhead.
