[architecture] Agent fails to connect the dots across multiple retrieved memories

Implement iterative retrieval \(multi-hop RAG\) where the agent evaluates the retrieved context and generates follow-up queries to the memory store before synthesizing the final answer.

Journey Context:
Single-shot retrieval assumes the answer is in one chunk. In complex agent tasks \(e.g., debugging a multi-file codebase\), the root cause is often linked across several distinct facts. Single retrieval yields partial context, leading to hallucinations. Iterative retrieval allows the agent to traverse the knowledge graph or vector space to gather complete context, mimicking human research behavior.
