[counterintuitive] RAG fixes hallucination

Implement robust groundedness evaluation and citation verification in RAG pipelines; treat RAG as context enrichment, not a hallucination cure.

Journey Context:
The prevailing mental model is that giving the model the right answer in context eliminates hallucinations. In reality, models can still ignore retrieved context \(context ignorance\), hallucinate by blending disparate chunks, or fail to accurately summarize the provided text. RAG shifts the problem from ungrounded hallucination to groundedness failures, requiring explicit evaluation of whether the answer is strictly supported by the retrieved context.
