Summary
Create a fact tracing and citation system so Helix can attach verifiable sources to answers across chat, docs, and automations.
Problem Statement
Users cannot currently validate where information came from, which undermines trust and compliance. We need a provenance-aware response layer that links every claim to a stored knowledge artifact.
Scope
- Design citation graph data model linking responses to knowledge base documents, web scrapes, or tool outputs.
- Build response middleware that attaches citations inline and supports hover/expand UI in chat surfaces.
- Store provenance metadata (source URL, timestamp, checksum) for replay and compliance audits.
- Provide dashboards and APIs to review citation coverage and gaps.
Requirements
- Every RAG-enriched answer includes at least one citation entry with clickable source.
- Citations persist in memory history and can be exported for compliance review.
- System flags responses when no authoritative citation is available.
- Auditable trail shows how a citation was produced, including intermediate prompts if applicable.
Dependencies
- Contextual Memory System for storage.
- Live Web Search & Scraping for fresh sources.
- Audit Logging for compliance tracking.
