Find the passages a citation rests on
preflight_cited_passagesTrace sentences that cite a citation key to ranked passages from the cited work, so you can judge whether the claim is supported.
Instructions
For each sentence of the paper that cites key: the claim it makes and the passages
of the cited work ranked best for that claim, for you to judge whether the work supports
it. The first call downloads the work's text (its arXiv source, an open-access full text
or PDF, or else its abstract) into the local cache.
Judge each claim conservatively. Say "confirmed" only when a passage states it (quote
the passage word for word) or, for a citation set right after a name such as
"Adam \cite{...}", when name_in_title is true. Otherwise say "could not confirm",
with the reason: no text, only the abstract, or no passage says it. Never call a
citation wrong or invented on this evidence: the text may say it in other words, or be
only an abstract. evidence.level is "full_text", "abstract" or "none".
Use it only after preflight_check has verified that the work exists; it answers
whether a real work supports a sentence, not whether the reference is correct.
