[architecture] Agent cannot follow relationships across disconnected memories

Model memory as a knowledge graph of entities, relations, and observations. Retrieve via multi-hop graph traversal rather than single-hop vector similarity, letting the agent walk from a mentioned entity to related people, objects, and events.

Journey Context:
Vector stores answer 'what is similar' but fail at 'who did what to whom'. GraphRAG demonstrated that connecting memories as a graph enables compound reasoning and reduces hallucinated connections. The cost is a heavier ingestion pipeline: you must extract entities and relations and maintain the graph. Use graph memory when relationships and provenance matter; keep vector search for loose semantic lookup.
