perf(core): share a fair diff budget across a pull request file page - #971
Conversation
Patches of one page share 60,000 characters: small files stay whole, big ones are cut across their hunks with a note naming the page and path, lock and generated files keep a stat line. A path parameter reads one file whole. bench/pr-review-context.ts measures real commits offline.

In `@packages/core/src/pull-request-diff-budget.ts`:
- Around line 29: Reword `where` and the contract comment to state the 100,000-character file limit and update the exact-note assertion in `pull-request-review.test.ts`.
In `@packages/core/src/pull-request-review.ts`:
- Around line 70: Include the same `(page === 100 && values.length === 30)` condition in the `path` branch's `truncated`.

Note Head Pull request file pages now share 60,000 patch characters across the files of a page instead of allowing 100,000 per file, so one huge patch no longer crowds out the small files after it. A cut patch ends with a note naming its page and path to fetch that file alone, while lock and generated files keep only a stat line. Comments posted: no critical or major finding. 2 minor in the review. Review details

A page of pull request files no longer lets one huge patch fill a reader's context while the small files after it get nothing.
Kind of change
What changed
threads.pullRequestFilespage now share 60,000 characters, notes included; before, each patch kept up to 100,000 (pull-request-diff-budget.ts).pathparam returns that file alone, up to 100,000 characters.bench/pr-review-context.tsrebuilds the GitHub files API pages of real squash commits from git and measures each page, with no network.docs/performance.mdrecords the numbers.To question
The budget is per page, not across the whole pull request: each page is its own call, and a reader who wants more of one file asks for it by path.
