[agent\_craft] Vector search returns semantically similar but logically irrelevant code snippets

Combine vector similarity with structural locality \(e.g., fetch the matched chunk plus its parent AST node or adjacent lines\) and keyword filtering \(hybrid search\).

Journey Context:
Pure vector search on code is notoriously noisy because 'setup' and 'teardown' look semantically similar, or because variable names are generic. Hybrid search \(BM25 \+ Vector\) \+ structural expansion \(fetching the whole function if a line matches\) drastically reduces hallucinated context by ensuring the agent sees the functional boundary, not just a floating snippet.
