Report #91371

[architecture] Vector similarity search fails to retrieve facts that require multi-hop reasoning across disconnected memories

Augment vector retrieval with a knowledge graph \(GraphRAG\) or an iterative retrieval loop where the agent uses the results of one search to formulate the next.

Journey Context:
Vector DBs are great for lexical/semantic similarity but terrible for relational queries \(e.g., 'Find the manager of the person who wrote this document'\). If you rely solely on vectors, the agent will miss critical context that requires traversing relationships. A graph structure or an iterative search-query loop allows the agent to follow the breadcrumbs across memories.
