Report #1576

[agent\_craft] Agent uses keyword search to retrieve code snippets, but misses critical control flow or type definitions located in the same file but outside the retrieved chunks

Use a two-step retrieval router: 1\) Use semantic/keyword search to identify the \*file paths\* \(routing\), 2\) Load the \*entire\* contents of the top-k matched files into context, rather than just the matched chunks, provided they fit within a token budget.

Journey Context:
Chunk-level RAG is great for finding the needle in a haystack, but code is highly interdependent \(imports, class definitions, calling functions\). Retrieving a 20-line chunk often lacks the surrounding context needed to modify it correctly. Loading the whole file costs more tokens upfront but drastically reduces the cascading errors and re-reads caused by missing context. The router should check file size before full loading to avoid OOM.
