I'm curious how much people are manually curating context these days; I'm increasingly feeling for myself that it being auto-managed inside a front-end like claude code is not ideal, and I'd rather have more control over what exact files and pieces of discovery go into a particular prompt, and the ability to more easily "fork" a session and ask asides or make notes/todos in a way that doesn't disrupt or confuse a more focused task going on.

I don't think I want a gastown-style "just yolo everything" approach, in fact I really want more control over how decisions are made and with what info. Does this exist?
