The entire conversation is over 60,000 characters according to wc. OpenAI’s tool won’t even let me compute the tokens if I paste more than 50k (?) characters, but when I deleted some of it, it gave me a value of >18,000 tokens.
I’m not sure if/when ChatGPT starts to forgot part of the chat history (drops out of the context window) but it still seemed to remember the first file after long, winding discussion.
How many characters is your 500 line source file? It probably fits in 8k tokens. You can find out here
