Very cool. I imagine your approach using files/folders + identifiers would work well for small repos, where everything can fit within an 8k prompt. An early prototype of our agent had something similar but with just files/folders no identifiers.
Our working thesis atm is the only approach to context that scales to support massive repos is embedding or text based retrieval.
Code search is going to need to be solved before code editing gets solved. You can't make changes if you can't find where the changes need to be made in a repo. Unless you're willing to make the UX concession that users have to manually select which files need to be edited.
