… checked out Phase 2 was fetching README, dependency manifest, and root listing via gh api even when the user was sitting inside the repo. Each /contents/ call base64-wraps its payload inside a JSON envelope — a 30 KB README costs ~40 KB of tokens vs. raw bytes from Read. Phase 0 Step 2 now exports $PROJECT_ROOT when the repo is available locally (inferred from cwd, or supplied as a local path). Phase 2 branches on that signal: local reads via Read/Glob when set, gh api /contents/... fallback when unset (GitHub URL / owner/name path). The single gh api repos/<owner>/<name> metadata call is retained for fields with no local analogue (description, topics, homepage, fork, parent, default_branch).
