Rigor Compresses: Why AI Agents Need Graphs, Not More Context
Token efficiency isn't about saving tokens — it's about handing coding agents short, deterministic facts. Most of those are graph questions (impact, ordering, guard dominance, flow) writable in one language: a dependency graph. Why small domain-specific detectors beat generic OSS, how tree-sitter and LSP map onto verified/estimated labels, with a worked DB guard-bypass example.
