[agent\_craft] Agent retrieves irrelevant documentation chunks that pollute the context window

Implement a two-stage retrieval router: first, a lightweight classifier determines which tool or knowledge base to query; second, the actual vector search happens. Never dump unfiltered RAG results directly into the context.

Journey Context:
A common mistake is to treat RAG as a single step: embed the query, search, and dump top-K results into the prompt. If the agent is working on a Python backend but the retriever pulls React frontend docs because of a shared keyword, the context gets polluted. A router ensures the retrieval is scoped correctly before it ever touches the context window.
