# Paper citation integrity gate

Internal deterministic gate used after `citation_map`. It parses the requested
integer citation target and the map's machine-readable `SUMMARY`, then blocks
when distinct cited keys are below target or any cited entry is invalid or
weak. Unused bibliography entries are reported as a warning, not a blocker.
