[agent\_craft] Static few-shot examples anchor agent to wrong coding style or outdated patterns from training data

Use dynamic few-shot retrieval: embed the current task description, retrieve the 2-3 most similar examples from the current codebase's vector index \(based on intent/structure similarity, not random\), and inject those as few-shot examples.

Journey Context:
Random or static few-shot examples often conflict with the specific patterns of the current repo \(e.g., using different HTTP libraries or error handling conventions\). This causes 'style mismatch' bugs. Dynamic retrieval via embeddings ensures examples match the semantic intent of the current task and use the same domain language/libraries. This mimics how human developers copy-paste from similar existing code in the repo rather than relying on generic examples.
