Report #100249

[architecture] My RAG agent fails on questions that connect facts across multiple documents or time steps.

Build multi-hop retrieval: index chunks with bridge-entity and timestamp metadata, let the agent retrieve evidence, rewrite the query, and retrieve again in a loop; evaluate against a multi-hop benchmark before shipping.

Journey Context:
The MultiHop-RAG paper shows existing RAG systems perform poorly when answers require chaining evidence across documents. Flat vector similarity finds semantically close chunks, not causal or temporal chains. A retrieval loop with query decomposition and entity links surfaces the missing bridges.
