[frontier] Static few-shot examples in my agent prompts become stale or don't match the current context

Implement Dynamic Example Mining—retrieve candidate examples from a trace bank using embedding similarity, then re-rank by estimated difficulty match and context relevance before injecting into the prompt.

Journey Context:
Static few-shot is brittle; the examples may be too easy/hard or irrelevant to the current query. The frontier pattern is to maintain a bank of successful traces \(episodes\), retrieve candidates via vector search, then use a secondary scoring model \(or heuristics like edit distance, complexity metrics\) to select examples that match the current task's difficulty and domain. This is 'adaptive in-context learning'. Tradeoff: latency of retrieval \+ ranking, but better generalization.
