Verify citation provenance

Official-host and normalized URL checks of a citation against Locus source cards, for buyer, owner and lender agents. Returns card provenance, status, and endpoint when the URL matches. Use before trusting a cited public-record source. Provenance only: it does not re-fetch the record or validate the fact. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.
