[research] Mixing API signatures from different library versions \(e.g., PyTorch 1.x vs 2.x\)

Inject the exact library version and documentation snippets into the context window before generating code; do not rely on the model's parametric memory for API signatures.

Journey Context:
Code LLMs are trained on massive GitHub dumps containing multiple versions of libraries. They blend these versions, creating code that uses deprecated parameters alongside new ones. Parametric memory is a weighted average of training data timestamps. Only explicit context injection of the target version's docs resolves this temporal drift.
