TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by addressing the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError and ensuring proper file handling to prevent exceeding the maximum allowed tokens.

Guidance

• Identify the files being read that exceed the 10000 token limit and modify the code to use offset and limit parameters for reading specific portions of these files.
• Review the error logs to understand which files are causing the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError and prioritize those for modification.
• Consider implementing a more efficient file reading mechanism that can handle large files without exceeding the token limit.
• Check for any circular dependencies or infinite loops in the file reading process that might be contributing to the error.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context on the file reading mechanism used in the application. However, the general approach would involve modifying the file reading function to accept offset and limit parameters, like so:

function readFile(filePath, offset, limit) {
  // Implementation to read the file using offset and limit
}

Notes

The provided issue content is truncated, which might limit the ability to provide a comprehensive solution. Additionally, without more details on the application's codebase and the specific requirements for file handling, the guidance is somewhat generalized.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the file reading mechanism to handle large files more efficiently, using offset and limit parameters to prevent exceeding the maximum allowed tokens. This approach is recommended because it directly addresses the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError and can be implemented without requiring a full understanding of the application's codebase or waiting for a potential fix in a future version.
