[agent\_craft] Static few-shot examples become syntactically stale as the codebase evolves, causing generated code to use deprecated patterns

Replace static examples with dynamic retrieval: embed the current task description, search recent commits/codebase for semantically similar solved examples, and inject those as few-shot context.

Journey Context:
Static few-shot works for stable APIs but fails in active repositories. Research on 'Retrieval-Augmented Generation' \(Lewis et al., 2020\) and code-specific implementations \(CodeBERT embeddings\) show dynamic retrieval improves accuracy by 25% over static examples in evolving repos by ensuring the model sees current coding standards. Alternative: Periodic manual updates of static examples is maintenance-heavy and error-prone.
