Report #101168

[agent\_craft] Assuming semantic chunking is enough for code context

Build code-aware chunks at symbol boundaries \(functions, classes, methods\) and enrich each chunk with its import graph, caller/callee links, and file path. Use semantic search on top of structural indices, not as a replacement.

Journey Context:
Text-level chunking often splits functions across boundaries or drops structural relationships, making retrieved code hard to use. The better approach mirrors static-analysis tools: parse into an AST, chunk by symbol, and attach metadata like imports and references. Semantic vectors help find relevant symbols; structure tells the agent how they connect. This is the same idea behind code-specific retrievers in LangChain and other frameworks.
