The update addresses common failure modes in LLM-generated bibliographies, such as invented reporter cites in law review drafts and mangled Chinese titles in multilingual papers.", "body_md": "LLM-written bibliographies do not stop at arXiv preprints. Law review drafts invent reporter cites; multilingual papers mangle Chinese titles. **citesure 0.2** extends the integrity gate into those failure modes.\n\nReferences that look like court cases — `@jurisdiction`\n\nentries, `Plaintiff v. Defendant`\n\ntitles, or reporter strings such as `347 U.S. 483`\n\n— are resolved against Free Law Project CourtListener. Ranking prefers an exact reporter cite over companion orders, so Brown lands on `347 U.S. 483`\n\nrather than a later procedural listing.\n\n```\n@jurisdiction{brown1954,\n  title        = {Brown v.
