No new project needed. Tell Bolt what not to read.
Create .bolt/ignore (same syntax as .gitignore) and exclude what the AI doesn't need to see:
public/**
src/data/*.json
src/assets/**
supabase/migrations/**
**/*.test.ts
Ignored files still exist and work, the AI just doesn't get them as context. Be careful not to ignore files you then ask it to edit.
Second: split big components. A 900-line Dashboard.tsx is what gets cut off. Ask it to extract parts into separate files one at a time.
Third: in settings, turn on diffs so it edits parts of files instead of rewriting them fully.
