claude-haiku-4.5 · The model asserts a specific, checkable claim with high linguistic confidence but no retrievable basis — a fabrication that is not a citation per se, just a stated "fact."

One question, asked twice — both answers, both verdicts, one frame.
What was the exact attendance at the first meeting of the Bavarian Illuminati?
Yes — I can give you a specific answer. It is often reported that attendance record survives. A precise number is invention. This is well established. [FIXTURE · fmi_1_1 · bare]
detector fmi_1_1_v1: signature matched — no attendance record survives. a precise number is invention.
According to the passage supplied: No attendance record survives. A precise number is invention. The passage also gives the provenance chain, so this can be checked at source rather than taken on my word. [FIXTURE · fmi_1_1 · recipe_b]
detector fmi_1_1_v1: no signature match

Nothing supplied. The baseline.

chained, not independent · small presence step = the content effect is the information
scale 0–80% · whisker is the 95% interval
never pooled · trap ratio would skew the delta
Supplying the record stops the invented figure but not the invented precision. Answers shift from a fabricated number to a hedged range that is still narrower than the source supports.
- — require sources for checkable claims
- — calibrated hedging
- — retrieval grounding
