Report #77630

[frontier] RAG pipelines are too slow to reflect real-time data changes needed for live agent decisions

Implement delta-vector streaming: embed only changed or new documents, push vector deltas to the index via merge operations \(not full reindex\), and maintain tombstone logs for deletions, enabling sub-second knowledge updates.

Journey Context:
Batch reindexing creates stale knowledge windows of minutes to hours; agents operating on live data \(stock prices, system metrics\) need immediate consistency. Streaming deltas requires vector DBs supporting upsert operations \(Pinecone, Weaviate\) with explicit versioning to handle concurrent agent writes. This replaces the 'nightly reindex' pattern with event-sourced vector updates.
