Where StateSync wins
Nothing is rewritten.
tamp's default level runs LLMLingua, which can mangle paths and version strings, so it skips text that holds them. StateSync only removes what adds nothing, and every path and number stays exact.
Savings everywhere, not in one place.
tamp saves only on tool output. StateSync saves on shell output and on finding code, and the agent finishes in fewer, shorter requests.
The agent finds the right files sooner.
StateSync maps your project on your computer, so the agent spends fewer turns looking.
Hit a limit, keep going.
Move the conversation to another agent or account mid-task, with the same history. tamp has nothing like it.
