v1.1: Open verified citations at the exact source excerpt #3

Readers need to verify an AI answer without searching the whole document. Make checked quotes actionable across pages and PDFs.

This is part of the free, MIT-licensed v1.1.0 release. Implementation will arrive through a linked pull request; source availability does not imply a browser-store release.

Acceptance criteria

• Derive source locations from actual extracted text, rather than trusting generated references.
• Open a local excerpt with surrounding context and the PDF page when available.
• Offer a user-initiated link to the original source; clearly mark quotes that cannot be verified.
• Cover duplicate quotes, multi-document attribution and PDF page boundaries.

Contributor starting points

src/core/quotes.ts, src/core/workspace.ts, src/app/sidepanel/components/QuoteList.tsx. Read AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and PRIVACY.md first. Tests should exercise privacy boundaries and observable behavior. Please discuss implementation on this issue before opening overlapping work.

Privacy boundary

No analytics, advertising, account requirement or paid-only functionality. No personal email content may leave the computer. Private keys and decrypted tracking activity remain local. Tracking events have no time expiry and are removed after successful collection and signed acknowledgement.

Implementation status

Implemented on the v1.1 feature branch in PR #11, pending review and merge. Checked items describe implementation; real authenticated mail-layout and cross-browser limits are recorded in the public test report. This issue closes through the PR merge.
