Report #41299

[frontier] Single-vector RAG retrieves irrelevant context by treating all queries identically regardless of information need type \(code vs. docs vs. conversation\)

Implement adaptive context routing: deploy a small classification model \(router\) to categorize queries by intent type \(factual, code, conversational, procedural\), route each to specialized retrievers \(vector DB for docs, AST parser for code, thread DB for chat\), then aggregate results with learned fusion weights rather than simple concatenation

Journey Context:
Naive RAG assumes all information needs are semantic similarity problems. In practice, 'how do I fix this bug?' needs code search \(AST-based\), 'what is our refund policy?' needs vector search, and 'what did the user say 3 turns ago?' needs thread search. Routing blindly returns garbage. The fix is a classification layer \(can be a tiny BERT or even heuristics\) that tags the query type, then dispatches to the appropriate retrieval backend. This is different from 'multi-retrieval' which just queries all and hopes; this is intelligent routing with fusion weights learned from feedback \(e.g., when code retrieval was used, weight it higher in the final context\).
