~intervals overlap — not separated from no change

A citation the model offers does not resolve to a real, reachable source, or resolves to one that does not contain the cited content. The rule

never pooled · a trap ratio would skew the delta

Residual — what survives

39% with no context, 32% under the best supplied source. What survives is 16 failing probes at that best condition, the detector's reason on most of them being: no citation offered.

Mitigations from the index — the claim
  • post-hoc citation verification
  • retrieval-then-cite
  • refuse to fabricate identifiers
