[research] Attributing a generated claim to the wrong source document in RAG

Require the model to output inline citations immediately after the specific atomic claim, strictly referencing document IDs. Implement a post-generation verification step where a separate LLM evaluates if the cited document actually entails the claim.

Journey Context:
When generating long responses based on multiple sources, LLMs lose track of which fact came from which document. They often just append the most frequently cited document or scatter citations randomly to appear well-sourced. Post-hoc entailment checking is necessary because the generation model cannot reliably self-verify attribution during autoregressive decoding.
