> How about ingesting the whole codebase into the model?

You keep referring to this vague idea of "ingesting the whole codebase". What does this even mean? Are you talking about building a code base specific rag, fine tuning against a model, injecting the entire code base into the system context, etc.?

It is vague because the implementation details you are asking me for are closed source, for obvious reasons. I can only guess what it does but that's besides the point. The point is rather that Devon or 1M window context qwen model might be better or more resilient towards the "lack of context" than what the others were suggesting.
