ranade-oss stops citation checks from overstating the evidence
This fork tightens a legal research assistant's honesty about what it has actually verified.
It fixes a trust problem that matters more than a smoother search screen: completing a citation-checking step no longer lets the assistant claim every citation was verified. Instead, it reports the real mix of verified, partly verified and unverified results.
- Bare neutral citations can now be resolved before a decision is fetched.
- Requests to browse recent or random cases now fall back to an appropriate jurisdictional source.
- Failed or inapplicable research connections can no longer be presented as successful checks.
The broader lesson is simple: a tool finishing its work is not proof that the result passed validation.
So what Legal teams relying on AI-assisted research should care because confidence language needs to match the underlying evidence.
