Report #5293

[research] How do I enforce grounding and citation discipline for generated claims?

Use a retrieve-then-revise pipeline: generate a draft, break it into atomic claims, retrieve evidence for each, rewrite claims to match the evidence, and attach citations. Reject any claim that cannot be grounded. Do not trust model-generated citations; verify them against the retrieved source.

Journey Context:
RARR shows that asking a model to 'cite sources' at generation time still yields hallucinated or mismatched citations. The robust pattern is post-hoc attribution: each atomic claim is checked against retrieved evidence before the final answer is emitted. This also creates an audit trail, which is essential for agent work.
