Report #95888

[agent\_craft] Agent edits files but the RAG retriever uses stale embeddings, causing the agent to re-read old code and revert its own changes

Invalidate and re-embed the modified file immediately after a write/edit tool is executed, or maintain a real-time overlay of file changes that is checked before returning RAG results.

Journey Context:
In an interactive coding session, the agent modifies the codebase. If the vector database or search index is not updated synchronously, subsequent retrieval queries will return the pre-edit version of the code. The agent will then read the old code, get confused, and often overwrite its own changes. The index must be treated as mutable state that is updated as part of the tool execution transaction, not as a background batch job.
