Report #64493

[frontier] Naive RAG returns disconnected facts without relational context for complex queries

Use GraphRAG's agentic search API to enable dynamic multi-hop graph traversal where the LLM decides which edges to follow based on intermediate findings

Journey Context:
Standard vector search fails on 'compare X and Y' queries where entities aren't co-located in chunks. GraphRAG builds entity-relationship graphs, but static retrieval misses complex queries requiring evidence gathering. The emerging pattern treats the knowledge graph as a navigation space: the agent iteratively traverses edges, collecting supporting evidence before synthesizing answers. This replaces single-shot retrieval with recursive verification loops.
