Attribution Integrity

Citations create trust and can be wrong in a specific way that is hard to detect: the source exists, is real, is relevant to the topic, and does not actually say what the answer claims. Readers check that the link resolves rather than that the passage supports the sentence, which means a plausible mis-citation passes inspection more easily than an obvious hallucination. Integrity requires binding at passage level and retaining what was retrieved so the check is possible after the fact.

Because retrieval in Centralpoint draws from governed records with stable identifiers and version history, a citation resolves to the version the answer derived from rather than to whatever the record says today. The Interaction Log retains the retrieved set per execution, so a disputed attribution is verifiable against what the system actually had rather than against a re-run that may return different material.
