Verify Turabian citations

Turabian is the student-facing form of Chicago style, and AI tools love to blend its notes-bibliography and author–date systems into a hybrid that exists in neither. Book citations also carry publisher and place fields that have no online index to check against, so a fabricated publisher can look entirely ordinary.
