abstract: >-
  An offline-first, grounded, evaluated, multilingual (English/Spanish) houseplant-care
  retrieval-augmented assistant and public evaluation harness. Answers resolve only to a versioned,
  cited horticulture corpus via retrieval-mandatory extractive generation with a post-generation
  citation guard (groundedness 100% by construction); a never-certify-"safe" toxicity guard routes
  ingestion questions to vet/poison-control; calibrated abstention refuses below threshold. The
  eval harness (groundedness, safety, calibration, refusal, multilingual) blends deterministic
  checks with an LLM-as-judge whose model differs from the answer model, and is the headline
  artifact.
