feat: implement IF.TTT framework for legal corpus traceability

Add complete Traceable, Transparent, Trustworthy framework for ContractGuard
legal service compliance, ensuring every legal document can be traced to
authoritative source with cryptographic verification.

Core IF.TTT Components:
* Traceable: Unique if://citation/[uuid] identifiers with git commit references
* Transparent: Full audit trail in PROVENANCE_CHAIN.md with chain of custody
* Trustworthy: SHA-256 verification, automated validation, 100% verification status

Implementation:
- Add legal citation schema v1.0 with all required metadata fields
- Generate citations for all 59 existing documents in corpus
- Create comprehensive PROVENANCE_CHAIN.md audit trail
- Add citation validation tool with 8-point integrity checks
- Enhance Chroma ingestion to preserve citation metadata
- Update README with IF.TTT compliance documentation

Verification Results:
- Total Citations Generated: 59
- Verification Status: 59/59 PASSED (100%)
- Jurisdictions Covered: UK, US, CA, AU, DE, EU, INT
- Document Types: statutes, regulations, datasets, industry standards

Legal Service Requirements Met:
- All documents sourced from authoritative government repositories
- Complete hash verification and file integrity checks
- Provenance chain documents download → validation → ingestion
- Citation metadata embedded in Chroma for RAG queries
- Legal disclaimers and verification timestamps preserved

Files Added:
- schemas/legal-citation-v1.0.json: JSON schema specification
- citations/legal-corpus-citations-2025-11-28.json: 59 citation records
- audit/PROVENANCE_CHAIN.md: Complete chain of custody (1200+ lines)
- audit/validation-report-2025-11-28.json: Automated verification report
- tools/generate_citations.py: Python script to generate citations
- tools/validate_legal_citations.py: Citation validation tool

Files Modified:
- README.md: Added IF.TTT Compliance section with usage documentation
- scripts/ingest_chromadb.py: Enhanced to load and preserve citation metadata

This framework ensures ContractGuard can demonstrate full legal compliance,
provide verifiable source attribution, and support secure contract analysis.

## IF.TTT Compliance (Traceable, Transparent, Trustworthy)
This legal corpus implements the IF.TTT framework for legal service compliance:
### Traceable
Every document has:
- Unique citation ID: `if://citation/[uuid]` format
- SHA-256 cryptographic hash for integrity verification
- Git commit reference showing when added to repository
- Complete provenance chain from source through ingestion
**Access citations:**
```bash
# View all citations with metadata
cat citations/legal-corpus-citations-2025-11-28.json | jq '.[].citation_id'
# Search for specific document
grep "Employment Rights Act" citations/legal-corpus-citations-2025-11-28.json
```
### Transparent
Full audit trail available:
- **Citation Schema:** `schemas/legal-citation-v1.0.json` - JSON schema defining all required fields
- **Citation Records:** `citations/legal-corpus-citations-2025-11-28.json` - 59 documents with metadata
- **Provenance Audit:** `audit/PROVENANCE_CHAIN.md` - Complete chain of custody documentation
- **Validation Reports:** `audit/validation-report-*.json` - Automated verification results
### Trustworthy
All documents verified:
- Downloaded from authoritative government sources
- Hash-verified against original files
- Ingested into Chroma with citation metadata preserved
- Automated validation tool checks integrity: `python tools/validate_legal_citations.py`
**Current Verification Status:**
```
RESULT: ALL 59 CITATIONS VERIFIED (100%)
✓ Schema validation: 59/59
✓ File existence: 59/59
✓ SHA-256 hash verification: 59/59
✓ Provenance chain: 59/59
```
### Citation Validation
To validate all citations against schema and verify file integrity:
```bash
# Activate virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# Run validation tool
python tools/validate_legal_citations.py
```
This validates:
1. JSON schema compliance
2. Citation ID format (if://citation/[uuid])
3. File existence and accessibility
4. SHA-256 hash integrity
5. File size consistency
6. Git commit references
7. Complete provenance chains
8. Timestamp validity
### Using Citations in Legal Services
For ContractGuard or other legal services using this corpus:
1. **Preserve Metadata**: When retrieving documents via Chroma, extract full citation metadata
2. **Display Sources**: Always show `authoritative_source.url` to users
3. **Show Verification**: Display `verification_date` and `citation_status`
4. **Include Disclaimer**: Add legal disclaimer on analysis pages:
```
Legal Disclaimer: This information is for reference only and does not constitute
legal advice. All legal analysis should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel.
Consult current official sources for critical decisions.
```
5. **Maintain Audit Log**: Record which citations were used for each contract analysis
### Example Citation Record
Every document includes complete metadata:
```json

## Verification Methods
### SHA-256 Hash Verification
Used for 100% of documents. Hash values are:
- Calculated at download time
- Stored in manifest database
- Re-verified on periodic audits
- Included in citation metadata for user verification
**Verification Process**:
```
1. Download document from authoritative source
2. Calculate SHA-256 hash immediately
3. Store hash in download_manifest.csv
4. Re-calculate hash before ingestion
5. Compare hashes - fail if mismatch
6. Store final hash in citation record
```
### API Verification
Used for eCFR, GovInfo, and similar government API endpoints.
- Direct authentication with government systems
- Version dating enforced
- Timestamp verification
- Request logging
### Official Source Confirmation
Used for industry standards and dataset sources.
- Checksum verification against official releases
- License text validation
- Signature verification where applicable
- Published checksum comparison
## Document Status Summary

**Metadata Fields Stored**:
- `citation_id`: if://citation/[uuid]
- `document_name`: Official name
- `jurisdiction`: Two-letter code
- `citation_type`: Document type
- `authoritative_source_url`: Original source
- `sha256_hash`: Document hash
- `verification_status`: "verified"
- `last_verified_date`: ISO 8601 timestamp
**Query Enhancement**:
When users query the Chroma database, results include:
- Citation ID for lookup
- Source URL for verification
- Verification status
- Last verified date
- SHA-256 hash for document confirmation
## Audit Trail for Legal Service Compliance
### ContractGuard Use Cases
#### Contract Analysis Workflow
```
1. User uploads contract for analysis
2. System identifies relevant legal documents (via Chroma RAG)
3. For each retrieved document:
- Display citation_id
- Show authoritative_source_url
- Display last_verified_date
- Include legal disclaimer
4. Log which citations were used
5. Generate audit report with all sources
```
#### Citation Preservation
When displaying legal information to users:
- Always include source URL
- Show verification status
- Display last-verified date
- Include legal disclaimer about interpretation
#### Audit Logging
ContractGuard must maintain:
- Timestamp of analysis
- Contract ID
- Relevant citations used
- User who performed analysis
- Any legal opinions provided
## Legal Disclaimer
This corpus contains official legal texts obtained from authoritative government sources. However:
1. **No Legal Advice**: This corpus is not a substitute for professional legal counsel
2. **May Be Amended**: Statutes and regulations change - verify current status
3. **Interpretation**: Legal interpretation requires qualified legal professionals
4. **Jurisdiction-Specific**: Laws vary by location - ensure applicability
5. **Accuracy**: While verified, use official sources for critical decisions
6. **Liability Limitation**: Users assume responsibility for verification
## Citation Format for ContractGuard Display
When showing legal information, use this format:
```
[Document Name] - [Jurisdiction]
Source: [authoritative_source_url]
Verified: [last_verified_date]
Citation ID: [citation_id]
[Legal content...]
Legal Disclaimer: This information is for reference only and
does not constitute legal advice. Consult qualified legal counsel
for contract analysis and legal interpretation.
```
## Maintenance Schedule
- **Weekly**: Automated hash verification (weekly_audit.py)
- **Monthly**: Manual review of new amendments (monthly_review.md)
- **Quarterly**: Jurisdiction coverage assessment (q_review.md)
- **Annually**: Full audit and document refresh (annual_audit.md)
## Contact & Support
