Report #42920

[agent\_craft] Loading entire codebase files into context for every query wastes tokens and introduces noise

Use a two-stage retrieval: first a sparse search \(e.g., BM25\) or symbol index to find candidate files, then a dense embedder to rank chunks, and only inject the top-K chunks with their file paths and line numbers.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG just embeds the query and grabs chunks, missing structural references \(like function calls\). Full-file injection hits context limits fast. The hybrid search \(BM25 \+ vector\) captures both semantic intent and exact symbol matches, drastically reducing hallucinated APIs.
