TL;DR don’t start with a bad model. They start earlier, when instructions, evidence, memory, and tool output are flattened into ordinary strings before the prompt is built, making their original roles harder to inspect and validate. I built a small, zero-dependency Python runtime.

longer, and the advice that comes with them is simple: stop retrieving, put the whole thing in the prompt. On a case file that advice nearly works. Eleven PDFs about one insurance claim come to sixty-odd pages, which fits inside a 200,000-token window several times over. It still misses the two questions the person handling the claim has. Is the second repair invoice in the folder at all, and does the date of loss on the claim form match the one in the adjuster’s report?
