Report #13114

[agent\_craft] RAG pipeline returns too much code and degrades agent response quality

Switch from stuff to map-reduce or refine chain types, or implement a two-stage retrieval: embedding search followed by an LLM-based relevance filter before injecting into the main agent context.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG assumes more context is better. In reality, irrelevant code snippets distract the LLM, causing hallucinations or wrong edits. A two-stage retrieval adds latency but drastically improves precision, ensuring only high-signal context occupies the limited window.
