Aider. Builds a tree-sitter repo map ranked by a graph algorithm so the model sees only the most call-graph-relevant symbols. Persists chat history under ~/.aider, supports a user-supplied conventions file loaded as system context. Scope: per-project (conventions) + per-session (history). Update model: append-only chat log; conventions overwritten manually. The repo map is computed, not stored as Markdown — it is regenerated per turn.

Cline. Ships the Memory Bank pattern: a fixed set of Markdown files (projectbrief.md, productContext.md, activeContext.md, systemPatterns.md, techContext.md, progress.md) under memory-bank/, all read at the start of every task. Plan/Act mode pair gates writes. Scope: per-project. Update: file-overwrite, ri

What Actually Happened

This is a real-world audit of an AI coding assistant (Claude Sonnet) on a production SaaS project over several months. We audited git history and identified the following:
