    # First pass: get structure and metadata only
    summary, tree, _ = ingest(
        repo_url,
        include_patterns=["*.md", "*.txt"],
        max_file_size=10240  # 10KB limit for docs
    )

    # Then process code files selectively by language
    for pattern in ["*.py", "*.js", "*.go", "*.rs"]:
        _, _, content = ingest(
            repo_url,
            include_patterns=[pattern],
            max_file_size=51200  # 50KB limit for code

        exclude_patterns=[
            "node_modules/*", "*.lock", "dist/*",
            "build/*", "*.min.js", "*.log"

            return ingest(repo_url)
        except GitIngestError as e:
            if attempt == retries - 1:
                return None, None, f"Failed to ingest: {e}"
            time.sleep(2 ** attempt)  # Exponential backoff
```
