Report #3340

[architecture] Retrieval only finds directly relevant chunks and misses multi-hop connections

Use a graph memory layer \(entities → relations → entities\) alongside vector chunks so the agent can follow chains across documents and sessions.

Journey Context:
Vector search retrieves chunks similar to the query, but cannot answer questions like 'Which customer had the same issue last quarter?' if those words never appear together. A knowledge graph built from extracted entities and relations enables multi-hop reasoning. It costs more storage and indexing effort but unlocks causal chains.
