[frontier] RAG retrieves irrelevant chunks and misses multi-hop relationships for complex agent reasoning

Use Ephemeral GraphRAG \(E-GraphRAG\): for each complex query, construct a temporary knowledge graph from retrieved documents, run community detection or pathfinding to answer, then discard the graph

Journey Context:
Vector similarity misses explicit relationships \(e.g., 'CEO of X' vs 'employee of Y'\). Persistent knowledge graphs are expensive to maintain and stale. E-GraphRAG extracts entities and relations from retrieved docs at query time, builds a local graph, and runs graph algorithms \(like shortest path or community summarization\) to synthesize answers. This captures multi-hop reasoning without global graph maintenance costs. This is replacing naive RAG in research-heavy agents.
