[agent\_craft] Retrieved code chunks lack surrounding scope, so edits break imports and references

Inject retrieved code with file path, line numbers, and a short parent-scope summary. Prefer whole-function, whole-class, or whole-block chunks over arbitrary fixed-token splits. Include the imports section of the file when the chunk refers to external symbols.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG splits files into equal token chunks and gives the model a snippet without context. The agent then proposes edits that reference undefined variables, break imports, or conflict with neighboring code. Code-aware retrieval respects semantic boundaries and provides scope metadata. The survey of RAG for LLMs emphasizes that retrieval quality depends heavily on how documents are prepared and presented, not just on embedding similarity.
