[agent\_craft] Agent hallucinates API signatures or uses outdated library versions from its training data

Always fetch current API documentation into the context window at task start via a dedicated retrieval tool, rather than relying on parametric memory.

Journey Context:
Agents often confidently use deprecated APIs. While adding docs increases token cost, the cost of generating broken code and entering a debug loop is higher. RAG over up-to-date docs ensures the context contains the ground truth for the specific version being used.
