[frontier] Naive RAG retrieves isolated chunks lacking global context, failing on queries requiring synthesis across documents or implicit entity relationships

Implement GraphRAG to construct knowledge graphs from documents, enabling global reasoning and structured retrieval over entity communities rather than semantic similarity alone

Journey Context:
Standard RAG splits documents into isolated chunks and retrieves via vector similarity, missing implicit relationships between entities across chunks \(e.g., 'Alice' in paragraph 1 and 'she' in paragraph 5\). GraphRAG extracts entities, relationships, and community structures into a knowledge graph, then uses graph traversal and community summaries for retrieval. This enables queries like 'What is the relationship between X and Y?' that span multiple documents. The tradeoff is higher indexing cost \(entity extraction is expensive\) and latency, but essential for complex analytical tasks requiring global context.
