[frontier] RAG returns disconnected facts instead of holistic understanding

Implement GraphRAG with community summaries: detect communities in entity graphs and index summary reports for multi-hop reasoning

Journey Context:
Naive RAG splits documents into isolated chunks, losing global context and relationships. GraphRAG constructs knowledge graphs from source documents, identifies entity communities using hierarchical clustering, and generates natural language summaries for each community. During retrieval, it uses these community summaries \(higher-level\) alongside specific text units \(lower-level\), enabling the agent to answer questions requiring synthesis across the entire corpus. This outperforms simple vector search on 'why' and 'how' questions requiring holistic understanding.
