Report #76462

[frontier] Flat vector RAG failing to connect disparate facts across long contexts requiring multi-hop reasoning

Implement a three-tier hierarchical memory: L1 raw observations \(vector DB\), L2 episodic summaries of recent events \(condensed memory\), and L3 semantic knowledge graph \(entities/relations\), with the agent consolidating L1→L2→L3 during 'sleep' phases and retrieving from all three weighted by relevance.

Journey Context:
Simple RAG retrieves chunks about 'Alice' and 'Bob' separately but misses they are married. The fix mimics human memory consolidation: sensory buffer \(recent context verbatim\), short-term \(summarized episodes\), and long-term \(structured knowledge graph\). After N turns, the agent runs a 'consolidation' step: extracting entities and relations to the graph \(L3\). When querying, the system searches L3 for relationships, L2 for recent context, and L1 for verbatim quotes, merging results. This enables multi-hop reasoning \(Alice → spouse → Bob's job\).
