Report #1451

[agent\_craft] Agent RAG returns natural language paragraphs or broken code snippets instead of complete, editable functions

Optimize the retrieval index for agents by chunking by AST symbol \(function/class\) rather than fixed token size, and returning raw code with metadata \(file path, line numbers\).

Journey Context:
Standard RAG pipelines chunk text for human readability. Agents need exact code to edit or execute. Fixed-size chunking breaks function definitions, leading to syntax errors when the agent tries to edit. Symbol-level chunking ensures the agent gets the complete context it needs to write or modify code, and the metadata allows it to target edits precisely.
