[frontier] Naive RAG with direct vector search too slow and expensive for high-frequency agent operations

Implement Progressive Disclosure: tiered retrieval using Bloom filters \(existence\) -> semantic hashes \(rough match\) -> vector search \(precise\) -> full document

Journey Context:
Hitting the vector DB for every query burns tokens and latency. First check cheap probabilistic filters \(Bloom/Cuckoo\) for existence, then use compressed semantic hashes \(SimHash\) for rough similarity, then finally vector search. This filters 80% of queries cheaply.
