I can't downvote you because you are downthread of me. HN shadow-disables downvotes on all child and grandchild comments.
I'm the one who upvoted you to counteract the downvote. :)

I thought Devon is able to pre-process the whole codebase and which it could take up to a one single day for larger codebases so it must be doing something, e.g. indexing the code? If so, this isn't a context-window specific thing, it's something else and it makes me wonder how that works.
