Alex a83e1dc0af feat(graphrag): seed the walk from what entities are, and rank with passages and vector hits
Graph retrieval tied plain vector search at best and never beat it. Measured
across five corpora, the bottleneck was seeding, not the graph: the walk
started from nodes whose embeddings were computed from bare entity names, and
a whole question shares almost nothing with a name like "Quill".

Extraction now embeds each node from "name (type): description" and each
relationship as the fact it asserts ("Alder streams_to Quill: ..."), stored on
a new nullable graph_edges.fact_embedding column that ensure_vector_schema adds
in place. Entity names are canonicalised (case, punctuation, word breaks and a
cautious plural) so "VECTOR_STORE" and "vector stores" land on one node. Extraction calls run
concurrently (GRAPHRAG_EXTRACTION_WORKERS, default 8) while embedding and graph
writes stay serial on the task thread, so ordering and idempotency are
unchanged; that measured 8.4x faster with identical output.

Retrieval gains per-source options, stored under retrieval.graph and read live
at query time:

- seed_strategy: start from matching entities (default) or matching
  relationships, which can reach an entity the question never names;
- passage_nodes (on): walk the source's passages alongside entities, with
  PageRank damping 0.5 instead of 0.85;
- blend_vector (on): fuse the graph ranking with the source's vector ranking
  by reciprocal rank.

The defaults are the measured-best configuration. Through GraphRAGRetriever,
the new seeding moved recall@4 from 0.41 to 0.68 on a multi-hop corpus and
from 0.50 to 1.00 on the docs corpus, and regressed none of the corpora
measured. Existing graphs keep name-only embeddings until rebuilt.

"""Ingest-time GraphRAG extraction pipeline (pgvector-only).
Turns a source's chunks into the per-source knowledge graph held by
``GraphStore``: each chunk is sent through a schema-constrained LLM extraction
(entities + relationships), entities are merged by ``normalized_name``, edges
are added between resolved endpoints, and chunk links are recorded so retrieval
can join ``graph_node_chunks`` back to the retrievable chunk ids.
Cost controls: gleanings off (exactly one ``.gen()`` per chunk), a hard
chunk cap, a resumable ``graph_ingest_progress`` checkpoint (an idempotent retry
never re-bills), and concat-merge of entity descriptions (no LLM summary pass).
The extraction LLM is built through ``LLMCreator`` and tagged
``_token_usage_source="graph_extraction"`` + ``_request_id`` so ``gen_token_usage``
writes a ``token_usage`` row per call attributed to the source owner, identical
to every other LLM call in the app.
