[research] Hallucinating a false causal or functional link between two individually true code concepts

Decompose multi-hop queries into single-hop sub-queries, executing and verifying each step independently before synthesizing the final answer.

Journey Context:
When asked complex questions \(e.g., 'How does library A interact with library B?'\), LLMs often retrieve valid facts about A and B, but hallucinate the bridge between them. End-to-end generation fails because the model guesses the interaction. Step-by-step verification breaks this.
