Report #28762

[frontier] Naive vector RAG fails on multi-hop reasoning

Replace chunk-based vector retrieval with Graph RAG \(retrieving entity-relationship subgraphs\) or Agentic RAG \(tool-based iterative search\) for complex reasoning tasks.

Journey Context:
Top-k vector search returns disconnected text chunks, causing the agent to hallucinate connections or miss critical entities that bridge concepts. Graph RAG extracts entities and relations, allowing the agent to traverse the knowledge structure. Agentic RAG allows the agent to iteratively search, read, and refine. Both sacrifice latency and simplicity for accuracy on complex queries.
