[frontier] Agentic RAG retrieval returns stale or irrelevant context due to vector search noise

Replace synchronous retrieval with Write-Through State Syncing: when an agent modifies a state or creates a document, it simultaneously generates and upserts an embedding of the change into the vector store, ensuring subsequent retrieval steps in the same workflow hit the fresh state without needing a separate agentic retrieval loop.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG queries a static vector store, which is always slightly stale. Agentic RAG \(retrieve -> evaluate -> re-retrieve\) fixes accuracy but adds massive latency and LLM calls. The emerging pattern is treating the vector store as a synchronous cache of the agent's working memory. By writing embeddings during state mutation, the agent guarantees its next read is accurate, eliminating the retrieval-evaluation loop for recently modified data.
