Report #40567

[agent\_craft] Using standard semantic vector search \(RAG\) to retrieve code snippets results in syntactically broken or context-less fragments

Implement code-aware retrieval: chunk by AST nodes \(functions/classes\), and when a chunk is retrieved, dynamically expand the context to include the parent node \(class signature/imports\) and relevant sibling signatures before injecting into the prompt.

Journey Context:
Standard RAG splits text by character count, destroying code structure. An agent getting a function without its class variables will hallucinate 'self' attributes. Expanding context dynamically \(parent/siblings\) costs more tokens than raw chunk retrieval, but prevents the agent from making incorrect assumptions about the execution environment and variable scope.
