[research] Generating code with deprecated or outdated library APIs

Force a retrieval step for the specific library version's documentation \*before\* writing the code, explicitly injecting the target version number into the search query.

Journey Context:
The most confident code generations are often for older, heavily represented versions in the pre-training data \(e.g., TensorFlow 1.x\). Without explicit version pinning in the retrieval step, the model defaults to the most probable \(often deprecated\) API signature.
