[research] Evaluating factuality at the paragraph level, masking specific hallucinated claims

Decompose generated text into individual atomic claims and verify each against a reliable knowledge source using FActScore or a similar atomization metric.

Journey Context:
Traditional metrics or human eval at the paragraph level fail to catch isolated factual errors buried in otherwise correct text. By breaking responses into atomic facts \(e.g., 'X was born in Y', 'X won Z award'\), an agent or evaluator can independently verify each piece. This drastically increases the signal-to-noise ratio for detecting hallucinations in long-form code documentation or architectural explanations.
