I found some similar issues that might be helpful:

• Splitting code into several files #71 - Splitting code into several files - The original feature request for splitting output into multiple files. Contains discussion about how the splitting logic should work.

• Feature Request: Automatic Chunking (a.k.a. “YOLO Divide”) for Oversized Codebases #424 - Automatic Chunking for Oversized Codebases - Requests automatic chunking when codebases exceed token thresholds. Discusses the same underlying problem of large repositories not fitting within size limits.

These might provide additional context or solutions.

Note: The error you're seeing (root entry 'src' exceeds max size) indicates that a single directory (src) in your repository is larger than the 1MB split limit you specified. The current --split-output implementation may not be able to split within a single large directory entry. You might try:

• Using a larger split size (e.g., --split-output 30mb)
• Using --include to process smaller portions of your codebase separately
