Report #97129

[frontier] Vector search retrieves irrelevant chunks lacking global context, causing synthesis failures on big-picture questions across documents.

Replace embedding-based retrieval with GraphRAG: extract entities and relationships to build a knowledge graph, then use community detection and global search for multi-hop reasoning.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG fails on queries requiring synthesis across entire corpora \(e.g., 'What are the main industry trends in this 10k report?'\). GraphRAG \(Microsoft Research\) builds hierarchical communities of entities. The LLM generates summaries at the community level, enabling global search over abstractions. This is replacing simple vector search in enterprise production for financial analysis and legal discovery where holistic understanding matters more than keyword matching.
