[agent\_craft] Static few-shot examples in system prompt reference deprecated API versions

Replace static few-shots with dynamic RAG: retrieve version-matched examples from vector store indexed by library version and task embedding.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded examples become liabilities when libraries update \(e.g., OpenAI SDK v0.x vs 1.x\). Static shots also bloat the system prompt. The fix is treating examples as a retrieval problem: embed the current task, fetch top-k validated snippets from a curated, versioned corpus. This decouples the agent from code rot and allows dynamic updates without prompt redeployment.
