[frontier] RAG retrieval fails on complex multi-hop queries requiring relationship context across document sections

Implement GraphRAG for entity-relationship indexing, but add an agentic chunking router that selects chunking strategy \(semantic, fixed, hierarchical, or agentic\) based on query classification \(factual vs analytical vs summarization\)

Journey Context:
Standard RAG with fixed-size chunks fails on 'compare X and Y' or 'what caused Z' queries that span distant text regions. GraphRAG \(Microsoft\) builds knowledge graphs from documents to answer global questions. However, teams are finding that chunking strategy must match query intent: factual lookups need small semantic chunks, analytical queries need hierarchical preservation of section context, and complex reasoning needs 'agentic chunking' where a planner decides which chunks to retrieve based on intermediate findings. The pattern is: GraphRAG provides the global context, but dynamic chunking selects the right granularity. The classifier can be a small fine-tuned model or an LLM with few-shot examples that tags the query type before retrieval begins, triggering different retrieval pipelines.
