Citation drift is one of the most common ways LLMs lose trust.
Without **cite-then-explain discipline**, answers may sound fluent but detach from sources.
This page locks the workflow: every reasoning step begins from **citations**, not narrative.
---
## When to open this page
- Model produces fluent paragraphs with zero citations.
- Citations appear, but after-the-fact and unverifiable.
- References change between runs, even with same inputs.
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 but λ diverges when narrative precedes citation.
- Users complain: "Where did this answer come from?"
---
## Open these first
- Retrieval schema contract: [data-contracts.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)
- Trace alignment: [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
- Context collapse: [logic-collapse.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md)
- Memory boundaries: [memory_fences_and_state_keys.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Safety_PromptIntegrity/memory_fences_and_state_keys.md)
- Injection guard: [prompt_injection.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Safety_PromptIntegrity/prompt_injection.md)
---
## Core acceptance
- Every answer starts with citations (no narrative before refs).
- Coverage ≥ 0.70 of the target section.
- ΔS(question, cited snippet) ≤ 0.45.
- λ convergent across 3 paraphrases.
- No hallucinated citations (must resolve to a retriever record).
---
## Fix in 60 seconds
1. **Citation-first discipline**
- Always start with `snippet_id`, `section_id`, `source_url`.
2. **Enforce schema**
- Required fields:
```json
{ "snippet_id": "...", "section_id": "...", "source_url": "...", "offsets": [..], "tokens": N }
```
3. **Reason only after citation**
- Explain or analyze *after* citation block.
4. **Reject broken runs**
- If citation missing → abort answer, return error tip.
5. **Stability probe**
- Run 3 paraphrases. If λ diverges, lock citation schema, rerun.

## Typical failure vectors → fix
| Vector | Symptom | Fix |
|--------|---------|-----|
| **Narrative-first** | Text precedes refs, unstable λ | Force cite-then-explain ordering |
| **Fake refs** | Hallucinated URLs | Schema lock + [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) |
| **Drifting refs** | Different citations each run | Clamp λ with BBAM, validate ΔS ≤ 0.45 |
| **Silent fallback** | Model drops refs under safety refusal | Apply SCU (symbolic constraint unlock) |
---
## Probe prompt
```txt
You must output citations before narrative.
Schema: {snippet_id, section_id, source_url, offsets, tokens}
Rules:
1. Cite first. Explain only after citations are shown.
2. No answer if citations missing.
3. Log ΔS(question, cited snippet). Reject if ≥ 0.60.
4. λ must stay convergent across 3 paraphrases.
