[agent\_craft] RAG retrieval injects whole files breaking agent logic with noise

Use an extract-then-verify step: retrieve broad chunks, but use a lightweight LLM call or code parser to extract only the specific signatures and lines relevant to the query before injecting into the main agent context.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG for codebases grabs 500-line files based on vector similarity. The agent then gets confused by unrelated functions in the same file, hallucinating interactions. By extracting only the relevant function signatures or specific logic, you minimize token usage and maximize signal-to-noise ratio. This shifts the burden from the main agent's attention window to a cheaper pre-processing step.
