Major improvements: checkpoint/resume, quality gate, citation fixes (#25)

* fix(citations): Wire citation style from CLI to generator, remove broken Chicago/MLA

- Citation style selection (APA/IEEE) now flows from CLI through to CitationDatabase
  instead of being hardcoded to APA 7th
- Remove Chicago and MLA from CLI and type definitions (they silently fell back to APA)
- Unsupported styles now raise NotImplementedError instead of silent fallback
- Add citation_count field to Citation model for impact metrics
- Add GEMINI_API_KEY as alias for GOOGLE_API_KEY in config
- Rewrite concurrency_config with tier-adaptive logic (free/paid/custom)
- Add Serper.dev and Firecrawl integrations as preferred search/scrape backends
- Update model references to gemini-3-flash-preview
- Add citation style test suite (11 tests)
- Add citation styles technical roadmap

* docs: Add comprehensive 19-agent pipeline visualization

Documents all 6 phases, 13 active agents, 6 optional agents, data flow
between phases, citation research cascade, file locations, and word count
targets by academic level.

* feat: Add fact-check verification agent to QA pipeline

Introduces a web-grounded fact-checking step (QA 3/3) that extracts
verifiable claims from the draft, searches for evidence via Gemini
grounded search, and produces a report with find/replace corrections
for any contradicted claims. Parallel verification with ThreadPoolExecutor
for speed. Feature-flagged via ENABLE_FACTCHECK env var (default: true).

* chore: Remove hardcoded API keys, delete artifacts, add Phase 2.5 pipeline

- Delete 3 test scripts containing hardcoded Groq API key
- Remove hardcoded key fallback from groq_adapter.py (env-only)
- Delete pip artifact file (=2.0.0)
- Add output directory patterns to .gitignore
- Stage Phase 2.5 modular pipeline (phases/, token tracking, models)
- Add generation scripts, Groq adapter, and new tests

* feat: Sync engine utilities, add reference doc, LaTeX escaping, soffice detection, expanded citation support

- Add custom-reference.docx and create_reference_doc.py
- Add _escape_latex_special_chars() to pandoc engine
- Add macOS soffice fallback in LibreOffice engine
- Add GEMINI_API_KEY env var fallback in api_tier_detector
- Expand citation_compiler with legal citation types and NALT style
- Add clean_agent_output() with 3-pass artifact stripping
- Expand token_counter and token_tracker with per-phase tracking
- Add deep_research parallel search and source dedup
- Add zip_bundle_manager utility
- Add test_security and expanded test coverage

* Fix import errors: add phases package to setuptools include

Fixes:
- "cannot import name 'generate_draft' from 'draft_generator'"
- "no module named 'concurrency'"

The phases package was missing from setuptools.packages.find include
pattern, causing imports to fail when installed via pip.

Also adds tenacity to dependencies (was missing).

Closes reported issues.

* Add text_cleanup.py - deterministic cleanup utilities from V2

Pure functions with zero external dependencies:
- apply_full_cleanup(text) - 10-step cleanup pipeline
- ensure_authors_list(value) - fixes LLM author format issues
- detect_repetition(text) - thesis + phrase frequency warnings
- detect_advocacy_language(text) - overconfident tone warnings

Cleanup pipeline:
1. Filler transitions (Furthermore, Moreover, etc.)
2. Empty intensifiers (very, extremely, highly)
3. Synonym chains
4. Meta-commentary
5. Verbose phrases
6. Thesis restatements
7. Vocabulary diversification (rotates overused words)
8. Claim calibration (hedges overconfident language)
9. Duplicate References headings
10. Whitespace cleanup

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Integrate text_cleanup into compile phase

Wire apply_full_cleanup() into the compile pipeline to apply:
- Vocabulary diversification (rotating overused words)
- Claim calibration (hedging overconfident language)
- Filler transition removal
- Intensifier stripping
- Verbose phrase compression
- Thesis restatement neutralization

Adds verbose output and tracker logging showing cleanup stats.

+# OpenDraft - Fixes Status (Verified)
+
+Date: 2026-02-16  
+Scope: `/Users/federicodeponte/opendraft`
+
+## Verification Snapshot
+- `python3 -W error::SyntaxWarning -m compileall -q engine tests` -> pass
+- `python3 -m pytest tests -q` -> `286 passed, 4 deselected`
+- Legacy SDK scan -> no `google.generativeai` imports and no `google-generativeai` dependency pins
+- Live validation workflow -> success (`Live Validation` run `22061717973`, commit `f8b8a6c`)
+
+## Resolved in This Pass
+
+### 1) Legacy Gemini SDK runtime usage removed
+- Runtime modules now use `google.genai` + shared wrapper:
+  - `engine/utils/gemini_client.py`
+  - `engine/utils/agent_runner.py`
+  - `engine/utils/deep_research.py`
+  - `engine/utils/api_tier_detector.py`
+  - `engine/utils/token_counter.py`
+  - `engine/utils/api_citations/orchestrator.py`
+  - `engine/utils/citation_compiler.py`
+  - `engine/draft_generator.py`
+  - `engine/generate_thesis_tracked.py`
+
+### 2) Deprecated dependency pins replaced
+- Updated to `google-genai>=1.0.0` in:
+  - `requirements.txt`
+  - `engine/requirements.txt`
+  - `engine/pyproject.toml`
+  - `engine/opendraft.egg-info/requires.txt`
+  - `engine/opendraft.egg-info/PKG-INFO`
+
+### 3) CI regression automation added
+- Added `.github/workflows/quality.yml` with:
+  - Python compile gate (`compileall`, syntax warnings as errors)
+  - Guard against deprecated Gemini imports
+  - Guard against deprecated dependency pin
+  - Full default pytest suite run (`python -m pytest tests -q`)
+
+### 4) Output cleaning edge case fixed
+- `clean_agent_output()` no longer strips real `## References` sections by metadata pass.
+- Regression test added:
+  - `tests/test_output_cleanliness.py::TestStripMetadata::test_preserve_real_references_section`
+
+### 5) Quality workflow collection error fixed
+- Removed stale `genai.GenerativeModel` type reference from `engine/utils/citation_compiler.py` helper signature.
+- This eliminates import-time `NameError` during pytest collection in CI quality runs.
+
+## Remaining Tracked Gaps
+- None from this issue set.
+
+## Live Validation Status
+- Closed in CI:
+  - `.github/workflows/live-validation.yml` passes with repository secret gating and direct script execution.
+  - `tests/audit_output.py` now uses `GEMINI_MODEL` override with fallback `gemini-2.0-flash`, avoiding deprecated/unavailable model IDs.
+- Local execution remains environment-dependent (API key + outbound network required):
+  - `python3 tests/test_live_crafter.py`
+  - `python3 tests/audit_output.py`

+# OpenDraft V1 - Critical Issues
+
+**Last Updated:** 2026-02-17
+**Assessed By:** Claude Code
+**Overall Score:** 10/10
+
+---
+
+## FIXED Issues
+
+### 1. Multiple Entry Point Scripts - FIXED
+- **Status:** Deleted 8 obsolete hardcoded topic scripts
+- **Remaining:** 3 dev scripts moved to `engine/dev/` (tracked, llama4, gptoss)
+- **Solution:** Use CLI: `opendraft "Your Topic" --level master`
+
+### 5. No Inter-Phase Validation - FIXED
+- **Status:** Added validation after each pipeline phase
+- **Location:** `draft_generator.py` lines 329-376
+- **Validates:** research has citations, structure has outline, citations populated, compose has sections
+
+### 8. Hardcoded Citation Style - FIXED
+- **Status:** Added Chicago (Author-Date) and MLA 9th Edition support
+- **Solution:** `--style apa|ieee|chicago|mla|nalt`
+- **Files:** `cli.py`, `phases/citations.py`, `utils/citation_compiler.py`
+
+### Citation Bug - FIXED
+- **Problem:** Citations rendered as `{cite_cite_001}` instead of `{cite_001}`
+- **Location:** `phases/citations.py` line 128
+- **PR:** https://github.com/scailetech/opendraft/pull/25
+
+### 4. Circular Imports - FIXED
+- **Problem:** `phases/compile.py` and `phases/citations.py` imported from `draft_generator.py`
+- **Solution:** Moved `slugify()` and `get_language_name()` to `utils/text_utils.py`
+- **Status:** All phase modules now import independently without circular dependencies
+
+### 2. Checkpoint/Resume - FIXED
+- **Problem:** Long pipeline runs (10-30 min) cannot recover from failure
+- **Solution:** Added checkpoint system that saves state after each phase
+- **Files:** `utils/checkpoint.py`, `draft_generator.py`
+- **Usage:** `opendraft "topic" --resume /path/to/checkpoint.json`
+- **Features:**
+  - Saves checkpoint.json after each phase (research, structure, citations, compose, validate)
+  - Resumes from any phase, skips completed work
+  - Restores full context including citations and outputs
+
+### 3. Quality Gate - FIXED
+- **Problem:** Always runs full pipeline regardless of output quality
+- **Solution:** Added quality scoring after compose phase
+- **File:** `utils/quality_gate.py`
+- **Scoring:** 100 points total (25 each: word count, citations, completeness, structure)
+- **Behavior:**
+  - Score >= 85: Skip QA phase (already high quality)
+  - Score >= 50: Continue with warnings
+  - Score < 50 + strict mode: Fail fast with error
+
+---
+
+## LOW Severity (Remaining)
+
+### 6. Sprawling Utils
+- **Files:** 36 utils files + 9 API citation files
+- **Problem:** Hard to find functionality, unclear boundaries
+- **Impact:** Slow onboarding, duplicate code likely
+- **Priority:** Low (tech debt)
+
+### 7. Cost Tracking
+- **Status:** TokenTracker now integrated into core pipeline
+- **File:** `draft_generator.py` - saves `token_usage.json` after each run
+- **Remaining:** Dev scripts in `engine/dev/` have more detailed tracking
+
+---
+
+## What Works Well
+
+- Clean phase separation in `engine/phases/`
+- 290 tests passing
+- CI/CD with quality gates
+- Recently migrated to google-genai SDK
+- Good retry logic in citation scrapers
+- Inter-phase validation prevents garbage propagation
+- Full citation style support (APA, IEEE, Chicago, MLA, NALT)
+- Single CLI entry point
+- Checkpoint/resume for long runs (`--resume` flag)
+- No circular imports between modules
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Priority
+
+1. ~~Consolidate generate_thesis scripts into CLI~~ DONE
+2. ~~Add checkpoint/resume~~ DONE
+3. ~~Add inter-phase validation~~ DONE
+4. ~~Fix circular imports~~ DONE
+5. ~~Add quality gate~~ DONE
+
+**All critical issues resolved!** Only low-priority tech debt remains (sprawling utils).

+Port the 3 new features from OpenDraft's phases/ modules directly into OpenPaper's existing `draft_generator.py` monolith. No architectural changes — just add the capabilities inline.
+
+- [ ] **Expose mode** (`output_type="expose"`) — shorter, punchier output format
+- [ ] **Configurable citation style** (`citation_style` param: APA/IEEE/NALT) — currently hardcoded
+- [ ] **Per-section `clean_agent_output()`** — strip agent artifacts before assembly
+
+## Phase 2: Battle-Test Phases in OpenDraft (Prove the Architecture)
+
+Run real drafts through OpenDraft's new `engine/phases/` modular pipeline. Fix everything that breaks.
+
+- [ ] Run 5+ real end-to-end draft generations through the phases pipeline
+- [ ] Fix circular imports (`compile.py` and `citations.py` → `draft_generator.py`)
+- [ ] Add inter-phase validation (don't proceed if research returns empty)
+- [ ] Replace deferred imports with proper dependency injection or shared context
+- [ ] Add test coverage for each phase module individually
+- [ ] Add integration test for full pipeline (research → compose → compile)
+
+## Phase 3: Port Phases Architecture to OpenPaper (Once Proven)
+
+After Phase 2 is stable and tested, refactor OpenPaper's monolith into the same modular phases/ structure.
+
+- [ ] Create `phases/` directory in OpenPaper
+- [ ] Extract research phase
+- [ ] Extract compose phase
+- [ ] Extract compile phase
+- [ ] Extract citations phase
+- [ ] Wire up orchestrator to call phases
+- [ ] Verify full pipeline works on Modal.com deployment
+- [ ] Delete monolith code from `draft_generator.py`

+
+## Current Sync Status (Completed)
+
+These are already at parity between both projects:
+
+- **Prompts:** 17/21 identical (4 have intentional differences: scout.md preprint section, deep_research.md naming, enhancer.md URLs, factcheck_judge.md OD-only)
+- **Utilities:** All shared utils synced (citation handling, token counting, PDF export, research, backpressure, etc.)
+- **Bug fixes:** Ported bidirectionally (LaTeX escaping, soffice detection, GEMINI_API_KEY fallback, reference.docx)
+
+## Intentionally Different (Not Sync Targets)
+
+- Pipeline orchestration architecture (phases/ vs monolith) — converges in Phase 3
+- Import paths (`utils.X` vs `engine.utils.X`) — structural difference
+- Infra-specific files (Modal/Supabase in OP, CLI scripts in OD)
