Report #54294

[frontier] Naive RAG retrieves irrelevant chunks and misses global context for abstract queries

Use GraphRAG community summaries to index hierarchical abstractions of document relationships rather than raw chunks

Journey Context:
Vector search fails on questions requiring synthesis across documents \(e.g., 'compare themes in these 100 reports'\). GraphRAG builds a knowledge graph and generates community summaries at multiple hierarchical levels. Querying targets these summaries first, enabling retrieval of abstract concepts and relationships that never appear in single chunks, replacing the 'chunk-and-embed' pattern for complex research tasks.
