check_patent_text_fabrication — Run deterministic (zero-LLM) checks over patent-related text and return a list of items that a human must verify: patent numbers that do not resolve, quotations that cannot be located in the cited document, experimental or performance figures with no stated source, statute citations whose current wording should be confirmed, and internal-consistency defects in the draft itself (claim numbering, dependency references, figure references, antecedent basis).
search_prior_art — Semantic search over CN and US patent databases.
