Report #24216

[frontier] Vector RAG fails on global synthesis questions requiring holistic corpus understanding

Implement GraphRAG with Community Summaries: build knowledge graph, detect communities via Hierarchical Leiden, generate summaries, use for global search alongside local vector retrieval

Journey Context:
Vector search excels at local retrieval but cannot answer holistic questions spanning thousands of chunks. GraphRAG indexes into KG, clusters into communities, generates summaries. Query routing: global questions search community summaries; local uses vector plus KG entities. Implementation: use graphrag library with indexing engine. Critical for enterprise knowledge management where executives ask synthesis questions.
