Report #2504

[agent\_craft] Agent uses semantic search for exact string lookups \(like finding a specific error code or variable definition\) and gets fuzzy, irrelevant results

Implement a hybrid router: use exact-match tools \(grep, ripgrep, symbol search\) for specific strings/identifiers, and semantic search \(embeddings\) for conceptual questions.

Journey Context:
Embedding models average the meaning of a token, destroying exact lexical matches. If an agent needs to find where \`ERR\_CODE\_402\` is defined, semantic search will return generic error handling code. Lexical search is deterministic and token-cheap. A hybrid router classifies the query intent first, saving the context window from semantic noise on exact-match tasks.
