This makes sense. Are there codebases where you find this doesn't work as well, either from the codebase's min required context size or the code patterns not being in the training data?
In haven’t seen that as a limitation because the agents also are able to grep for keywords to find files to explain things. So they don’t necessarily have to ingest the whole codebase into context.
