Report #13579

[agent\_craft] Single vector store retrieval fails for both conceptual and structural code queries

Implement a hybrid retrieval router: route conceptual questions to dense vector embeddings and structural/symbolic questions to text/AST search \(e.g., ripgrep, symbol indexes\).

Journey Context:
Code has two dimensions: semantic intent \(what it does\) and syntactic structure \(how it's written\). A single vector embedding is good at the former but terrible at the latter \(e.g., finding where \`class UserAuth\` is defined\). A router classifies the query type and dispatches to the appropriate retriever, drastically improving precision and reducing the need for the agent to iteratively search and waste context tokens on misses.
