Retrieval Grounding

The Retrieval Grounding module provides citation packaging, source confidence scoring, and query rewriting with safety controls. It enforces that grounded use cases cannot generate answers without evidence.

Features

• Query rewriting: Strips unsafe patterns before retrieval
• Document search: Pluggable backend (MVP: keyword matching)
• Confidence scoring: Per-citation confidence based on query overlap
• Citation packaging: Formats citations as numbered context for prompt injection
• Grounding enforcement: grounded flag indicates whether sufficient evidence was found
