Hop-bounded retrieval for latency-sensitive RAG

A graph algorithm that bounds the number of retrieval hops at query time so latency remains predictable under adversarial corpora.

Composite score

84/100

Adversarial-robustness for retrieval pipelines is well studied; the explicit hop bound at serve time with a provable upper bound on latency is novel in combination.
