Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Iterative Chunked-Read Summarization Harness **Status:** Draft / Research **Date:** 2026-04-18 **Owner:** dimetron **Track:** `specs/features/SUB` (subagent) + `internal/tools` ## TL;DR When a file exceeds pi-go's Read budget (default line cap = 2000 lines for non-source files, plus a 256 KB safety net in `internal/tools/truncate.go`, plus AfterToolCallback compaction in `internal/tools/compactor_read.go`), the parent agent today must manually paginate with `offset`/`limit` and stitch the results together in its own context. That is expensive, lossy, and error-prone for files that are hundreds of thousands of lines (large logs, generated code, vendored JSON, captured traces). This document proposes a **subagent-backed iterative chunked-read harness** that: 1. Exposes a new tool `read_summary` in `internal/tools`. 2. Internally dispatches a dedicated `file-summarizer` subagent with its own isolated context window. 3. Drives a deterministic chunk-by-chunk traversal using opaque **continuation tokens**, so either the caller or the subagent can decide when to stop. …

How to install
mdr add dimetron/pi-go/specs/features/TOO/003-large-files/DESIGN.md@sha256:9de24294afef2ed4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260622.ffbb6d5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
