Report #77445

[frontier] Naive RAG returns disconnected chunks that lose global context, causing agents to miss big-picture relationships in large document corpora

Implement Microsoft GraphRAG with community summarization: build knowledge graphs from documents, generate hierarchical community summaries \(level 0, 1, 2\), and retrieve using Global Search for high-level context plus Local Search for specific entities

Journey Context:
Flat vector similarity fails on questions requiring synthesis across documents \(e.g., 'What are the main themes across all 10,000 support tickets?'\). It retrieves chunks mentioning keywords but lacking thematic coherence or global statistics. GraphRAG detects communities of related entities via graph clustering, generates natural language summaries of these communities at different granularities, and allows retrieval at the abstraction level matching the query. This replaces 'similar chunks' with 'relevant abstractions', enabling agents to answer holistic questions spanning entire datasets while maintaining traceability to source documents via the underlying knowledge graph.
