Report #13370

[agent\_craft] Agent retrieves irrelevant code snippets because it embeds the whole file instead of routing by structural boundaries

Chunk and index code by structural boundaries \(functions, classes, interfaces\) rather than fixed token counts. Store the signature and docstring in the embedding, but keep the full implementation mapped to it for retrieval.

Journey Context:
Fixed-size chunking breaks functions in half, destroying semantic coherence. When an agent queries 'how does the auth middleware work?', it might retrieve the bottom half of a function. Structural chunking ensures the retrieved context is complete and syntactically valid, drastically reducing the need for the agent to guess the missing pieces.
