Report #6401

[architecture] Agent fails to connect multiple related facts across memory

Use a knowledge graph \(GraphRAG\) alongside vector stores, or implement iterative retrieval loops where the result of the first search informs the query of the second.

Journey Context:
Vector embeddings capture local semantic similarity but fail at global, multi-hop reasoning \(e.g., 'Who is the manager of the person who wrote the document I read yesterday?'\). Graph databases store explicit relationships, enabling traversal. Iterative retrieval \(like IRCoT\) allows the LLM to reason step-by-step and fetch intermediate facts, bridging the gap between unstructured text and relational logic.
