Report #59221

[agent\_craft] Retriever returns syntactically disconnected code chunks \(e.g., function signature without body\)

Use AST-aware chunking \(e.g., via Tree-sitter\) to retrieve complete syntactic nodes \(full functions/classes\) rather than fixed-size character windows. Combine semantic search with structural boundaries.

Journey Context:
Standard RAG splits code by character count, breaking functions in half. The LLM gets the signature but hallucinates the implementation, or gets a snippet without its imports. AST-aware chunking ensures the context is syntactically valid and complete, drastically reducing hallucinated code.
