Validate Bibliography

Cross-reference all citations in lecture files against bibliography entries.

Steps

Read the bibliography file and extract all citation keys
Scan all lecture files for citation keys:
- ```
.tex
```
  files: look for
```
\cite{
```
  ,
```
\citet{
```
  ,
```
\citep{
```
  ,
```
\citeauthor{
```
  ,
```
\citeyear{
```
- ```
.qmd
```
  files: look for
```
@key
```
  ,
```
[@key]
```
  ,
```
[@key1; @key2]
```
- Extract all unique citation keys used
Cross-reference:
- Missing entries: Citations used in lectures but NOT in bibliography
- Unused entries: Entries in bibliography not cited anywhere
- Potential typos: Similar-but-not-matching keys
Check entry quality for each bib entry:
- Required fields present (author, title, year, journal/booktitle)
- Author field properly formatted
- Year is reasonable
- No malformed characters or encoding issues
Report findings:
- List of missing bibliography entries (CRITICAL)
- List of unused entries (informational)
- List of potential typos in citation keys
- List of quality issues
