Audit Citations and References

Cross-check all citation keys in the manuscript against

references.bib

and report mismatches.

Steps

Read
```
index.qmd
```
and extract every citation key:
- Narrative citations:
```
@key
```
- Parenthetical citations:
```
[@key]
```
  ,
```
[@key1; @key2]
```
- Ignore email addresses and
```
@sec-
```
  ,
```
@fig-
```
  ,
```
@tbl-
```
  cross-references
Read
```
references.bib
```
and extract every entry key (the identifier after
```
@article{
```
,
```
@book{
```
, etc.)
Check for duplicate keys within
```
references.bib
```
(same key defined more than once)
Report three categories:

Errors — cited in manuscript but missing from
```
.bib
```
:
- List each missing key with the line number in
```
index.qmd
```
  where it appears
- For each, suggest running
```
/project:cite <key>
```
  to add the entry
Orphaned — in
```
.bib
```
but never cited in manuscript:
- List each unused key (informational, not necessarily a problem)
Duplicates — same key appears multiple times in
```
.bib
```
:
- List each duplicate with line numbers in
```
references.bib
```
Print a summary: total cited keys, total
```
.bib
```
entries, errors, orphaned, duplicates

Error handling

If
```
references.bib
```
does not exist, report the error and stop.
If
```
index.qmd
```
contains no citations, report "No citations found" and stop.
