[architecture] Retrieval returns isolated facts that miss causal chains

Store relation triples \(subject-relation-object\) alongside text chunks and run multi-hop graph traversal for complex queries. Use the graph to seed the context, then fill details from chunks.

Journey Context:
Vector chunks capture local semantics but drop causality. 'Service A was down' and 'Service B retried three times' may be semantically nearby but not linked. A knowledge graph makes the relationship explicit and enables multi-hop reasoning. The tradeoff is higher ingestion complexity; do not graph everything. Start with entities and relations that appear in repeated debugging or planning queries.
