ContextSniper: AntTrail's Token-Efficient Code Memory for Repository-Level Program Repair

arXiv:2607. 01916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents can repair real repository issues, but they often spend large context budgets on whole-file reads, broad searches, and long terminal outputs where useful evidence is mixed with irrelevant code and logs.
