[architecture] Assuming a single vector search query can retrieve complex, multi-step dependencies

Implement iterative retrieval: allow the agent to make multiple search queries based on the results of the first query before generating the final answer.

Journey Context:
Vector search is inherently a single-hop mechanism. If the agent needs to know 'What library does the auth module use, and what version is it?', a single query won't bridge the gap. Graph databases require pre-existing relationships. The right call for general agent memory is to allow the agent to loop: retrieve -> read -> formulate new query -> retrieve again. This emulates graph traversal without requiring rigid schema definitions upfront.
