[research] Factual drift during long-form generation

Use iterative generation with intermediate grounding checks. Instead of generating 2000 tokens at once, generate 200, validate against context/retrieval, and append.

Journey Context:
Autoregressive generation compounds small factual errors. As the model conditions on its own previously generated \(potentially hallucinated\) tokens, it drifts further from the source material. Chunking and validating breaks the error compounding loop.
