src/verify.py

"""
Citation verification module.
Uses semantic similarity (MiniLM cosine) instead of exact substring matching.

Why: LLMs paraphrase retrieved text rather than quoting verbatim.
Exact matching almost always returns Unverified even when the answer
is fully grounded in the retrieved sources.

Threshold: cosine similarity > 0.72 = verified.
Same MiniLM model already loaded in memory — no extra cost.

Documented limitation: semantic similarity can pass hallucinations
that are topically similar to retrieved text but factually different.
This is a known tradeoff vs exact matching.
