[counterintuitive] Adding RAG to eliminate all model hallucinations

Implement robust retrieval evaluation and context relevance checks; recognize that RAG shifts the failure mode from 'hallucination' to 'context-confabulation' if retrieved chunks are noisy or contradictory.

Journey Context:
Developers believe RAG anchors the model to facts, eliminating hallucinations. If the retriever fetches irrelevant or conflicting documents, the model will confidently hallucinate based on the wrong context, or get confused and mix entities. RAG does not fix hallucination; it merely localizes the grounding problem to the retrieval step.
