[frontier] Vector-only RAG retrieves semantically similar but logically irrelevant context for agent reasoning

Use GraphRAG \(Knowledge Graph \+ Vector\) where agents traverse Cypher relationships to find contextually relevant information based on entity relationships, not just embedding similarity.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG retrieves chunks that are semantically close but causally disconnected \(e.g., 'apple' the fruit vs company\). GraphRAG extracts entities and relationships, enabling multi-hop reasoning. Alternative: reranking \(still similarity-based\). Tradeoff: graph construction is expensive but enables complex reasoning chains that vector search cannot support.
