Agent-driven file discovery burns turns and fills the window with wrong guesses. A parameterized priming command loads exactly the right files in one deterministic shot — reserve probabilistic search for when you genuinely don't know where to look.
An unattended agent loop has no instinct for 'done.' Give it a dumb iteration ceiling it can't argue past and a completion sentinel it can raise — and it terminates correctly and cheaply.
When the window fills, agents cut corners and auto-compaction throws away the wrong things. Author a handoff file, eyeball it, and restart in a clean session you control.
