Local academic literature pipeline makes fabricated citations structurally impossible

A Redditor published a full end-to-end demo of Academic-AI-Literature-Reviewer-Ollama: a 100% local (Ollama-based), MIT-licensed pipeline with no paid APIs that turns a research question into a fully cited APA 7 literature review drawn from six academic databases.
The headline feature is that fabricated citations are structurally impossible, not just unlikely: the model is never allowed to type a quote itself. Every candidate quote must pass character-level selection plus 95%-similarity semantic matching against the source PDF, then is copy-pasted into the final document by code — removing the AI from the final step entirely.
The walkthrough covers discovery rounds, the gap-analysis loop, citation chasing, and a final verification pass checking every quote against its source paper. Repo and video are in the comments.
