Report #10566

[agent\_craft] RAG pipeline returns semantically similar but logically irrelevant code chunks because embedding similarity doesn't capture code structure

Combine semantic retrieval with structural code-aware routing. Use AST parsing or graph RAG to fetch the target chunk plus its immediate structural dependencies, rather than just the top-K similar embeddings.

Journey Context:
Embeddings flatten text into semantic space, destroying code hierarchy. A chunk might mention a class but without the class definition, the agent cannot reason about its methods. Graph or AST-based augmentation restores the structural context that pure vector search destroys.
