[frontier] Vector-only RAG produces shallow context retrieval for complex agent reasoning chains

Replace vector RAG with LightRAG's hybrid low-dimensional graph\+vector retrieval for agent long-term memory

Journey Context:
Naive RAG fails on multi-hop reasoning. GraphRAG improves this but has high latency. LightRAG combines graph and vector in a unified index with dual-mode retrieval \(local for specific, global for general\). For agents, this means memory can answer 'what' \(vector\) and 'why' \(graph traversal\) without separate systems, reducing context window pollution by retrieving only relevant subgraphs rather than entire document chunks.
