Full error output (REQUIRED)

Token usage stays the same or increases vs. without context-mode, visible in VS Code Output → GitHub Copilot Agent logs.

No explicit errors shown. Debug script reveals:

better-sqlite3 .node binary missing
SQLite FTS5 test fails
Token usage unchanged (2000+ tokens with/without context-mode)

Steps to reproduce (REQUIRED)

macOS 26.0.1, Apple M2, Node v24.11.1
setup context mode with hooks as mentioned in readme
Use VS Code + GitHub Copilot with any prompt
Check the token usage from Agent debug logs

here the token usage with the context mode is more
