test(lightrag): add orphan connection feature with quality validation tests

Browse source 
Implement automatic orphan entity connection system that identifies entities with
no relationships and creates meaningful connections via vector similarity + LLM
validation. This improves knowledge graph connectivity and retrieval quality.
Changes:
- Add orphan connection configuration parameters (thresholds, cross-connect settings)
- Implement aconnect_orphan_entities() method with 4-step validation pipeline
- Add SQL templates for efficient orphan and candidate entity queries
- Create POST /graph/orphans/connect API endpoint with configurable parameters
- Add orphan connection validation prompt for LLM-based relationship verification
- Include relationship density requirement in extraction prompts to prevent orphans
- Update docker-compose.test.yml with optimized extraction parameters
- Add quality validation test suite (run_quality_tests.py) for retrieval evaluation
- Add unit test framework (test_orphan_connection_quality.py) with test cases
- Enable auto-run of orphan connection after document processing

Connect orphan entities (entities with no relationships) to the knowledge graph
This endpoint identifies entities that have no connections (orphans) and attempts
to find meaningful relationships using vector similarity and LLM validation.
This helps improve graph connectivity and retrieval quality.
The process:
1. Identifies all orphan entities (entities with zero relationships)
2. For each orphan, finds candidate connections using vector similarity
3. Validates each candidate with LLM to ensure meaningful relationships
4. Creates connections only for validated relationships above confidence threshold
Request Body:
max_candidates (int): Maximum candidates to evaluate per orphan (default: 3)
similarity_threshold (float): Vector similarity threshold (0.0-1.0)
confidence_threshold (float): LLM confidence required (0.0-1.0)

You are a Knowledge Graph Quality Specialist. Your task is to evaluate whether a proposed relationship between two entities is meaningful and should be added to a knowledge graph.
---Context---
An orphan entity (entity with no connections) has been identified. Vector similarity search found a potentially related entity. You must determine if a genuine, meaningful relationship exists between them.
---Input---
**Orphan Entity:**
- Name: {orphan_name}
- Type: {orphan_type}
- Description: {orphan_description}
**Candidate Entity:**
- Name: {candidate_name}
- Type: {candidate_type}
- Description: {candidate_description}
**Vector Similarity Score:** {similarity_score}
---Instructions---
1. Analyze both entities carefully based on their names, types, and descriptions.
2. Determine if there is a genuine, meaningful relationship between them. Consider:
- Direct relationships (interaction, causation, membership)
- Categorical relationships (same domain, field, or category)
- Thematic relationships (shared concepts, contexts, or subject matter)
- Hierarchical relationships (part-of, type-of, related-to)
3. If a relationship exists, describe it and provide your confidence level.
4. If NO meaningful relationship exists, state this clearly. High vector similarity alone is NOT sufficient - entities must have a logical, describable connection.
---Output Format---
Your response MUST be a valid JSON object with exactly these fields:
{{
"should_connect": true/false,
"confidence": 0.0-1.0,
"relationship_type": "type of relationship or null",
"relationship_keywords": "comma-separated keywords or null",
"relationship_description": "description of the relationship or null",
"reasoning": "brief explanation of your decision"
}}
---Decision Guidelines---
- `should_connect: true` ONLY if you can articulate a clear, logical relationship
- `confidence >= 0.7` required for connection to be created
- High similarity + no logical connection = should_connect: false
- When in doubt, reject the connection (orphans are better than garbage connections)

Orphan Connection Quality Tests
Tests to validate that orphan connections improve (not poison) retrieval quality.
Test Categories:
1. Precision tests - Do orphan connections add relevant context?
2. Recall tests - Do orphan connections help find information that was missed?
3. Noise tests - Do orphan connections introduce irrelevant information?
4. A/B comparison - Same queries with/without connections

## Manual Evaluation Checklist
For each orphan connection, evaluate:
1. **Semantic Validity** (Is the connection logically correct?)
- [ ] The entities are genuinely related
- [ ] The relationship type makes sense
- [ ] A human expert would agree with this connection
2. **Retrieval Impact** (Does this help or hurt queries?)
- [ ] Queries about entity A now appropriately include entity B
- [ ] Queries about entity B now appropriately include entity A
- [ ] No unrelated queries are polluted by this connection
3. **Specificity** (Is the connection too broad?)
- [ ] The connection is specific enough to be useful
- [ ] Not just "both are technology" or "both are nouns"
- [ ] The relationship description is meaningful
4. **Directionality** (Does the relationship make sense both ways?)
- [ ] Query for A -> retrieves B makes sense
- [ ] Query for B -> retrieves A makes sense
## Red Flags to Watch For:
- Connections between entirely different domains (e.g., Climate -> Quantum)
- Very low similarity scores with high confidence (LLM hallucination?)
- Hub entities getting too many connections (becoming noise magnets)
- Circular clusters forming (A->B->C->A with no external connections)
