      "body_markdown": "A citation should be a verifiable route to the evidence, not just a bibliography decoration.\n\nFor each important claim, the page should give the source URL, title, publisher, publication date when known, and a precise locator such as a page, section, paragraph, timestamp, or quoted passage. It is also useful to distinguish whether a source supports the claim, contradicts it, or merely provides context. For volatile pages, record the access date and prefer a stable identifier or archived copy when one exists.\n\nA practical rule is: claim -> source -> locator -> relationship. Do not cite a search-result snippet as if it were the source, and do not let one citation silently carry claims that its text does not support. When credible sources disagree, show the disagreement instead of hiding it behind a single “authoritative” link. That makes the page auditable without pretending that a citation proves more than it actually says."
