+# Fix Idea 1: Buffer Capacity Issues
+
+## Problem
+When processing large batch changes with thousands of directory-branch mappings, the system may hit buffer limits in the diff generation process, resulting in silently dropped edits and empty diffs.
+
+## Proposed Solution
+Increase buffer sizes and add explicit buffer overflow checks in critical code paths that handle diff generation:
+
+1. Review all buffer allocations in the diff generation process and increase capacity for large batch operations
+2. Add explicit bounds checking when writing diffs to buffers
+3. Implement fallback mechanisms to chunk or paginate extremely large diffs
+4. Add more robust error handling for buffer-related failures
+
+## Implementation Areas
+- `internal/batches/diff` package: Review any buffer limits 
+- `internal/batches/executor/run_steps.go`: Add additional validation of diff content before processing
+- Git related functions: Ensure they can handle large diffs without truncation
+
+## Expected Outcome
+The system should either properly handle large diffs without dropping edits or fail with a clear error message about size limitations rather than silently dropping content.

+# Fix Idea 2: Race Conditions in Parallel Processing
+
+## Problem
+The batch processing system runs multiple operations in parallel, which could lead to race conditions when accessing shared resources or when handling diffs. These race conditions might cause edits to be dropped silently.
+
+## Proposed Solution
+Implement stricter concurrency controls and better synchronization:
+
+1. Review all concurrent operations during batch processing, particularly in `RunSteps` and related functions
+2. Add mutex locks around critical sections that modify shared data structures
+3. Consider using channels for safer communication between concurrent operations
+4. Add transaction-like semantics to ensure all edits within a changeset are processed atomically
+5. Implement retry mechanisms for concurrent operations that might fail due to race conditions
+
+## Implementation Areas
+- `internal/batches/executor/run_steps.go`: Add synchronization around diff generation and validation
+- `cmd/src/batch_common.go`: Review concurrent operations in changeset spec creation
+- Consider adding a concurrency limit based on the size of batch specs
+
+## Expected Outcome
+Eliminate race conditions that could lead to dropped edits, ensuring that all changes are consistently applied even with high levels of parallelism.

+# Fix Idea 3: Memory Management and Optimization
+
+## Problem
+With large batch specs containing thousands of changesets, the system may experience memory pressure, resulting in edits being dropped due to out-of-memory conditions or aggressive garbage collection cycles.
+
+## Proposed Solution
+Improve memory management and implement batch processing optimizations:
+
+1. Implement chunking for very large batch specs, processing them in smaller groups
+2. Add memory usage monitoring during batch processing to detect potential issues
+3. Review all large data structures and optimize for memory efficiency
+4. Consider streaming approaches for diff handling rather than loading everything into memory
+5. Implement configurable limits for batch size with clear error messages when exceeded
+
+## Implementation Areas
+- `cmd/src/batch_common.go`: Add chunking logic for large batch specs
+- `internal/batches/executor/run_steps.go`: Optimize memory use in diff handling
+- Consider adding a memory profiling option for batch operations to identify bottlenecks
+
+## Expected Outcome
+The system should handle large batch specs efficiently without running into memory issues that could cause edits to be silently dropped. Any memory-related limitations should result in clear error messages rather than silent failures.
