Run a verification pass over a Sombra collection's distilled context — identify which substantive claims are anchored to sources, which are partial matches, and which are unsourced — then walk the user through cleaning up the unsourced ones. Use when the user says "verify this collection", "check the distill", "are these claims sourced?", "audit the context", or asks to make sure a distilled context is grounded in real artifacts.
