"""
Assemble, deduplicate, and perform multi-paper literature triage for UnsolvedEarth v1.1.0:
- 20,000 published open and partially solved problems (UEARTH-000001 to UEARTH-020000, published=True)
- 100 archived/audit style-pack problems (UEARTH-020001 to UEARTH-020100, published=False)
Total = 20,100 records in problems.json (~32 MB compact, problem-centric format).
Key Features:
1. Compact, problem-centric schema (~1.5 KB/problem, ~32 MB total for 20,100 problems) — no raw paper
dumps or duplicated wrapper files.
2. Multi-signal global deduplication across all 20,000 problems (title + statement token Jaccard < 0.45).
3. Every published problem is backed by 3-4 distinct, real, DOI-verified peer-reviewed references
(primary formulation + 2 topic-matched corroborating studies from the Earth-science corpus +
domain consensus synthesis).
