[architecture] Agent fails to answer questions requiring connecting multiple distinct memories across different sessions

Augment vector memory with a knowledge graph \(GraphRAG\) to store entities and relationships, allowing the agent to traverse multi-hop paths rather than relying on single-hop semantic search.

Journey Context:
Vector databases are fundamentally single-hop: they find text similar to the query. If the query is 'Who is the manager of the person who wrote the authentication module?', vector search fails because the answer is distributed across two distinct memories. Graph memory allows traversal \(Module -> Author -> Manager\). The tradeoff is that entity extraction and graph construction are brittle, computationally expensive, and require strict schema management compared to simple chunk embedding.
