LawWiki: California law in plain English, citation-checked

Make California statutes searchable and readable by non-lawyers, with every quoted line traceable to the statute text.

• Keyword search misses plain-English questions; vector search misses exact citations.
• AI summaries can misquote the law.
• An open legal corpus invites scraping.

1. Hybrid search with BM25 and pgvector.
2. Citation detection: typing a statute citation jumps straight to it.
3. Every quoted line is checked against the statute text before it is shown.
