Detect Conflicts Before Feeding to Model

This covers Technique 7: Cross-Document Conflict Detection.
The idea is not to directly feed independently retrieved documents to the model, but to first compare candidate chunks for factual contradictions. If conflict exists, the system alerts the model about source inconsistency, requiring reasoning before answering.
The author claims this change significantly reduces one of the most common early user complaints: the model being 'confident but wrong.'
