## Message

```
agent: Snapshot context in user message instead of recreating it (#27967)

This makes context essentially work the same way as `read-file`,
increasing the likelihood of cache hits.

Just like with `read-file`, we'll notify the model when the user makes
an edit to one of the tracked files. In the future, we want to send a
diff instead of just a list of files, but that's an orthogonal change.


Release Notes:
- agent: Improved caching of files in context
