Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the activeFile context with the complete content returned by the fsRead tool, using the attached toolkit log and the reported 1,046-line C# file as evidence. Reproduce the random truncation after a long chat session and verify that activeFile exposes the complete file or clearly indicates when content is truncated.
