Resolves the citation sanity audit in scratch/citecheck/FLAGGED_CITATIONS.md. Each flagged citation pointed at a paper that did not support its in-text claim, from contributors of varying expertise. Every replacement identifier was re-resolved against the paper's actual title and abstract before substitution.

Fixes:

  • overview: transfer-learning claim now cites Pan & Yang, A Survey on Transfer Learning (10.1109/TKDE.2009.191); removed an unrelated subpopulation-shift citation.
  • principles: confidence-gated adaptation now cites EATA (2204.02610), which entropy-gates adaptation on unreliable samples; context-dependent sampling now cites Self-Regulated Sample Diversity in LLMs (2024.findings-naacl.122).
  • applications: swapped healthcare/chaos citations so the chaotic-attractor risk paper (2509.08183) backs the chaos-diagnostics claim.
  • future_trends: dropped the LLM-causal-graph sentence whose identifier resolved to a differential-geometry paper.
  • open_problems: removed a routing citation that resolved to a traffic-simulation paper; removed the level-of-abstraction subsection (both citations wrong) and trimmed the intro from five questions to four to match; added Scaling Monosemanticity (2605.29358) for the post-hoc interpretability claim.
  • conclusion: swapped the two in-context-learning citations so each matches its claim.
  • invariant: deleted a commented-out reference stub carrying two mislabeled tags.

Address the citation sanity audit (scratch/citecheck/FLAGGED_CITATIONS.md).
Each flagged citation cited a paper that did not support its in-text claim
(wrong arXiv identifier, or a real paper on an unrelated topic).

- overview: transfer-learning claim now cites Pan & Yang survey
  (10.1109/TKDE.2009.191); drop unrelated subpopulation-shift citation.
- principles: confidence-gated adaptation now cites EATA (2204.02610),
  which entropy-gates adaptation on unreliable samples; context-dependent
  sampling now cites Self-Regulated Sample Diversity (2024.findings-naacl.122).
- applications: swap healthcare/chaos citations so the chaotic-attractor
  risk paper (2509.08183) backs the chaos-diagnostics claim.
- future_trends: drop LLM-causal-graph sentence with wrong identifier.
- open_problems: drop routing/traffic-sim mismatch; remove the
  level-of-abstraction subsection (two wrong citations) and trim the
  intro from five to four questions to match; add Scaling Monosemanticity
  (2605.29358) for the post-hoc interpretability claim.
- conclusion: swap the two in-context-learning citations to match claims.
- invariant: delete commented-out reference stub with mislabeled tags.

A more appropriate version of the removed section would focus on efforts to improve the programmability of context.
