Every flagged issue now ships with evidence, rewrite, and citation on a single finding.

Headline

  • 3 new skills: Grammar & Style (LanguageTool + LLM fallback), Academic Citations (Semantic Scholar), Self-Plagiarism (Cloudflare Vectorize)
  • Fact-check upgraded: every finding carries sources[] + claimType; --deep-fact-check routes through Exa deep-reasoning
  • Enricher pipeline merges citations onto fact-check findings via quoted-claim matching (R8)
  • Provider picker UX in Settings (BYOK, per-skill); GET masks apiKeys, PUT is CSRF-guarded + localhost-only
  • Claim drill-down side panel surfaces sources + citations + rewrite in one click
  • Pre-flight cost estimator — honest scaling by claim count and embedding tokens
  • New CLI subcommand: checkapp index <dir> ingests past articles for self-plagiarism
  • 280 tests (up from 160), including an automated E2E fixture test asserting the four-output contract

Breaking changes

None. All Phase 7 additions are strictly additive:

  • Finding gains optional sources?, rewrite?, citations?, claimType?, confidence?
  • Config gains optional providers?: Partial<Record<SkillId, SkillProviderConfig>>
  • Legacy flat config keys (EXA_API_KEY, copyscapeKey, etc.) continue to work unchanged
  • Pre-Phase-7 SQLite report blobs replay safely via normalizeSkillResult

Security (BYOK alpha)

  • API keys stored plaintext at ~/.checkapp/config.json — protect with chmod 600
  • Dashboard designed for localhost-only use; do not put behind a public proxy
  • CSRF token at ~/.checkapp/csrf.token required on /api/providers PUT
  • See docs/security.md for the full threat model and planned hardening

Deferred to 1.2.0 (Phase 7.5)

  • Parallel Task as second deep-reasoning provider
  • Copysentry post-publish monitoring
  • Cross-provider transient-failure fallback chain
  • OS keychain integration
  • At-rest encryption of API keys

What's next

Phase 8 — CheckApp Studio (web editor with live checks, rewrite co-pilot, research panel) — planning begins now.
