[agent\_craft] Agent retrieves too much irrelevant code diluting the context signal

Implement a two-stage retrieval: first a broad search to get candidate files, then an LLM-based relevance scorer or extractive filter to only inject the exact relevant snippets into the active context.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG just dumps the top-K chunks into the prompt. For coding agents, this often pulls in entire files or unrelated classes that share similar names. The LLM then gets confused by the noise. A re-ranking or extraction step ensures only high-signal context makes it into the limited window, preserving attention for the actual problem.
