/claim #16

Summary

Adds a distinct literature freshness review assistant for the AI-Powered Research Assistant Suite.

This slice compares manuscript claims against a synthetic current-evidence ledger before AI reviewer packets are released, checking:

• stale support citations outside the freshness window
• missing newer systematic reviews, reporting guidelines, dataset releases, and benchmark updates
• newer contradictory evidence that should hold a broad claim
• dataset version drift for claims using current-evidence language
• benchmark leaderboard drift for state-of-the-art claims
• reviewer actions, research-gap prompts, stable audit digests, and deterministic reviewer artifacts

Non-overlap

This is not another broad assistant suite, evidence/protocol trace, statistics review, research-gap planner, rebuttal pack, ethics/data availability check, citation-context reconciler, reporting-guideline compliance module, benchmark-leakage audit, figure/table consistency assistant, analysis-variable provenance assistant, domain-template selector, grant-fit module, limitations disclosure assistant, uncertainty calibration assistant, supplement-readiness assistant, prompt-safety guard, study-power checker, COI/funding disclosure checker, retraction sentinel, preregistration deviation assistant, external-validity assistant, image-integrity assistant, or assay control/calibration assistant. It focuses specifically on whether reviewer-facing claims are current against newer evidence and temporal-drift signals.

Safety

• Synthetic fixtures only in literature-freshness-review-assistant/sample-data.js
• No private manuscripts, patient data, credentials, external APIs, model calls, payment data, wallet material, or network calls
• Dependency-free evaluator/tests; ffmpeg is only optional for regenerating the committed demo video

Demo artifacts

• literature-freshness-review-assistant/reports/demo.json
• literature-freshness-review-assistant/reports/demo.md
