What's Wrong?
I had Claude editing a large MD file. It was reading just the bits it needed to edit. But EACH EDIT was eating 25 to 50% of the context WINDOW. Reverted to 2.0.10 and now each edit was taking 1% to 2%. Before I reverted I pointed out to Claude the context was being eating massively for no reason I could see and IT told me it was getting the COMPLETE FILE multiple times per edit VIA the SYSTEM REMINDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What Should Happen?
NOT WASTE 25 to 50% of Context on system reminders?
