TL;DR

The issue is likely caused by exceeding the maximum allowed tokens when reading files, and a workaround could be to use offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file.

Guidance

• The errors suggest that the file content exceeds the maximum allowed tokens (10000), causing a MaxFileReadTokenExceededError.
• To mitigate this, consider using offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file, as suggested in the error messages.
• Review the code in cli.js (specifically lines 7929 and 4586) to understand how file reading is handled and where the token limit is being exceeded.
• Consider increasing the token limit or optimizing file reading to reduce the number of tokens being read.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context, but the error messages suggest modifying the file reading logic to use offset and limit parameters, e.g., readFile(offset, limit).

Notes

The issue description is truncated, which may limit the ability to provide a comprehensive solution. Additionally, the code changes required to fix the issue are not explicitly stated and may require further investigation.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by using offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file, as this is a suggested solution in the error messages and may help mitigate the token limit exceeded errors.
