Report #63858

[frontier] Static RAG retrieval returning stale entity relationships in multi-hop reasoning tasks

Construct temporary knowledge graphs per conversation session using entity extraction \+ dynamic relationship mapping, then evaporate or distill to summary on session end, rather than relying on pre-computed vector chunks.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG fails on multi-hop questions because vector similarity doesn't capture transitive relationships \(e.g., 'Alice's manager's budget'\). Static GraphRAG builds massive persistent graphs that are expensive to update. The frontier pattern is 'just-in-time' knowledge graphs: agents extract entities on the fly, build a local graph for the session \(using libraries like kuzu or networkx\), run graph algorithms for reasoning, then optionally distill insights to long-term memory. This avoids the staleness of static RAG and the cost of persistent graph maintenance, enabling dynamic multi-hop reasoning without pre-indexing.
