What citation-audit does

> 🔒 **Do not wrap this skill in `/loop`, `/schedule`, or `CronCreate`.** It is > verdict-bearing — it judges bibliographic correctness. Re-running that verdict > on a timer adds no new signal (it changes only when the *bibliography* > changes). Schedule the *external wait that precedes it* — bibliography > finalized → then audit **once**. See > `shared-references/external-cadence.md`.
