Report #95528

[agent\_craft] Agent uses a single monolithic vector store for the entire codebase, retrieving irrelevant cross-module snippets

Route retrieval queries based on the agent's current sub-task. If modifying tests, route to a test-specific index; if modifying core logic, route to the source index. Use metadata filtering on file paths rather than pure semantic similarity.

Journey Context:
Semantic search across a whole repo often returns tests when you want source, or frontend code when you are working on the backend. Pure semantic similarity lacks spatial awareness of the codebase. The fix is to use the agent's intent to constrain the retriever via metadata \(e.g., \`file\_path: src/\*\*\`\). This drastically improves precision.
