preflight_bib_fixPropose fixes for a bibliographyPropose edits to the .bib files, taken from the verified records, as a unified diff. Nothing is written: apply the diff with your own editing tools. `level="safe"` only fixes identifiers written so that links break and adds DOIs the registry has; `level="unsafe"` also rewrites authors, title, year and venue from the record, removes identifiers that point to another work and cites a preprint as its published version (keeping the eprint). Show unsafe diffs to the user before applying them. References nobody could find are never "fixed". Use it after `preflight_check` has reported errors or war…
preflight_bib_lookupGet verified BibTeXGet a BibTeX entry for a DOI, an arXiv ID or a title, built from the registry record instead of written from memory. Give `identifier`, or `title` (with `author` and `year` when you know them). `status` is "found" (use `bibtex` as is), "ambiguous" (several works match: pick from `candidates` with the user, or retry with author/year), "not_found" (ask the user for the source; do not invent one) or "unavailable" (a source did not answer; retry later). A published preprint comes back as its published version with the eprint kept; `status_flags` lists notices such as "retracted". Use it when add…
preflight_checkCheck a paper's referencesVerify every cited reference of a LaTeX project (or a .bib file) against real scholarly records, and check citation keys and the bibliography. Returns a summary (error/warning counts, one verdict per reference, whether the run was complete) and the findings, most severe first, `max_findings` at a time; call again with `offset=next_offset` for more. `complete: false` means a source was unavailable, so the paper cannot be declared clean yet. `offline: true` answers from the local cache only. The first run of a paper may take a minute or two (progress is reported while the references are searche…
preflight_cited_passagesFind the passages a citation rests onFor 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 ab…
preflight_explainExplain a ruleExplain a paper-preflight rule (for example REF003 or CIT001): what it detects, its default severity, the message template and whether a fix can be applied safely. Use it when a finding from `preflight_check` is unclear; it does not look at the paper.
