There might also be a high level design page about the feature, or jira tickets you can find through git commit messages, or an architectural decision record that this new engineer could look over even if you forgot. The LLM doesn't have that

The weights won't have that by default, true, that's not how they were built.

But if you're a developer and can program things, there is nothing stopping you from letting LLMs have access to those details, if you feel like that's missing.

I guess that's why they call LLMs "programmable weights", you can definitely add a bunch of context to the context so they can use it when needed.

LLMs can barely do 2+2, humans don't even understand the weights if they see them. LLMs can have all the access they want to their own weights and they won't be able to explain their thinking.
