Report #15642

[agent\_craft] Agent wastes tokens doing full codebase search when it already knows the exact file path

Implement a routing layer that checks if the query contains an explicit file path. If yes, route directly to the file reader tool; if no, route to the codebase RAG tool.

Journey Context:
Generic RAG pipelines treat every user or agent query as a search problem. If the agent's plan says 'Edit src/auth/login.py', running a semantic search for 'login authentication' is wasteful, slow, and might return the wrong file if another has higher semantic similarity. A simple regex or heuristic check for file paths bypasses the retriever entirely, saving latency, tokens, and reducing the risk of retrieval errors.
