Report #35638

[architecture] Agent fails to connect related facts across multiple documents or sessions \(multi-hop reasoning failure\)

Store memories in a knowledge graph \(entity-relation-entity triples\) alongside the vector store, enabling structured multi-hop traversal instead of relying solely on embedding similarity.

Journey Context:
Vector embeddings compress meaning into a single point in space, losing structural relationships. If the user says 'My project uses X' and later 'X depends on Y', a vector search for 'project dependencies' might not retrieve Y because the semantic distance is too far. Graph structures explicitly store these edges, allowing the agent to traverse from Project -> X -> Y. The tradeoff is that graph extraction is more complex and error-prone than chunking, so a hybrid approach \(GraphRAG\) is often necessary.
