[frontier] My RAG system cites sources the model never actually retrieved

Replace one-shot vector RAG with agentic graph traversal and enforce provenance constraints: require evidence-first submission \(validate cited entities were visited\) or visited-only citations.

Journey Context:
Agentic GraphRAG lets the model traverse entities, neighbors, and communities iteratively. A 2026 study found that unconstrained agentic GraphRAG still fabricated citations; adding evidence-first validation raised accuracy from 76% to 80%, while ablating cited entities collapsed accuracy to 32%. The insight is that agentic freedom without citation accounting reproduces hallucination in a new shape.
