Description
I am using Continue as an extension in VS Code to use a local LLM running in LM Studio 0.4.17.
In Plan mode to scaffold the python scripts.
When attempting to read large files:
read_file failed: File is too large (33450 tokens vs 16384 token limit)
The files I need to use to develop my scripts are not easily fractioned, so the hard 16k limit is a problem.

Research direction
The payload names no source file or test; locate the Read_File implementation and the code enforcing the 16,384-token limit. Trace how oversized files are handled and find the relevant tests or test location. Done means the requested larger-file behavior is implemented and covered by a test.
