[frontier] Naive RAG chunk retrieval polluting agent reasoning with irrelevant context

Replace single-step vector search with a two-step Extract-then-Synthesize pattern: use an LLM call to evaluate and filter the retrieved chunks before injecting them into the final generation prompt, or use tool-calling to let the agent dynamically query multiple indexes.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG stuffs the top-K chunks into the prompt. If K is high, noise increases; if K is low, recall drops. Agents need high precision. The emerging pattern is Agentic RAG where the agent uses a search tool, reads the results, decides if they are relevant, and either searches again or synthesizes. Another pattern is using structured extraction over raw vector similarity.
