Report #15054

[architecture] Single vector search failing to connect multi-hop facts

Implement iterative retrieval \(e.g., ReAct pattern for memory\) or graph-based memory \(Knowledge Graph\) where entities are nodes and relations are edges, allowing traversal across multi-hop links.

Journey Context:
If a user asks a question requiring transitive reasoning over past events, a single vector search will fail. Vector DBs are single-hop. They return semantically similar chunks but cannot follow a chain of logic \(A -> B -> C\). Graph RAG or iterative retrieval loops are required to resolve multi-hop dependencies in memory.
