[synthesis] Agent uses outdated API patterns despite retrieving high-relevance RAG documents

Implement a temporal delta check in the RAG pipeline. If the agent's generated code uses APIs deprecated after the RAG document's timestamp, flag the trace as degraded, even if the RAG similarity score was >0.85.

Journey Context:
Standard RAG monitoring relies on vector similarity scores. In production, as codebases evolve, old documents maintain high semantic similarity to new queries but contain stale patterns. The agent happily uses them because the score is green. The degradation is silent until runtime. The synthesis is combining RAG score monitoring with code-version temporal analysis—something pure vector DBs or pure LLM evals miss on their own.
