    Visual modality has recently been explored as a way to compress textual tokens, including rendering code as images for static code understanding. We study whether this representation can serve as operational context for agentic coding, where an agent must navigate repositories, edit source files, and verify executable patches. Using SWE-bench Verified, we evaluate rendered code in repository-level repair workflows and introduce controlled...
