Report #94592

[architecture] Single-pass vector search fails to answer questions requiring connecting multiple facts across different documents

Use graph-based memory \(Knowledge Graphs\) or iterative multi-hop retrieval loops instead of flat vector stores for relational data.

Journey Context:
Vector DBs are great for semantic similarity but terrible for relational hops \(e.g., 'Who was the manager of the project the user worked on in 2022?'\). If the agent needs to traverse relationships, a graph structure or a retrieval loop \(query -> retrieve -> re-query\) is necessary. Flat vectors flatten relationships into noise.
