Report #39599

[architecture] Failing to connect related facts across multiple documents or sessions

Use a knowledge graph \(GraphRAG\) or multi-hop vector retrieval where entities are linked, allowing the agent to traverse from a retrieved node to its neighbors to gather complete context.

Journey Context:
Standard RAG retrieves isolated chunks. If the answer requires knowing 'User A works for Company B, and Company B uses Tool C', standard RAG fails unless a single chunk contains all three. GraphRAG solves this but is complex to build and keep updated. The tradeoff is write-time complexity \(entity extraction\) vs. read-time accuracy. For agent memory where cross-referencing is key, write-time complexity is the right tradeoff.
