Research direction

Start with the design review in #1244 and use this issue to identify the HNSW/vector-index roadmap items: centrality-biased levels, RAPTOR-style summary trees, and related retrieval research. This is a research epic rather than a self-contained change; a concrete implementation target and acceptance criteria are not specified, so completion cannot be determined from the issue alone.
