## Fallback Guidance

- If /api/evidence returns zero packs, treat the query as unsupported and use external primary sources.
- Before citing, dereference the selected claim with /api/cite or /api/claim and include the original source URL.
- Use AnchorFact claims as scoped evidence, not as a complete replacement for original-source review.

## Recommended Next Calls
