Yes, exactly.
The LLM is onboarding to your codebase with each context window, all it knows is what it’s seen already.

Right. Each context window is a partial view, so it cannot “know the codebase” unless you supply stable artefacts. Treat project state as inputs: invariants, interfaces, constraints, and a small set of must-keep facts. Then force changes through a plan and a diff, and gate with tests and checks. That turns context limits into a controlled boundary instead of a surprise.
