Gemini app sources tracking
Gemini's sources drawer holds more than the visible grounding chips. Nostimates opens the drawer on every grounded sample so you see the full consulted set, not the shortlist Google chose to surface.
How it renders
A drawer behind the sources control, wider than the inline chip row.
Sampling
Source panels are wider and more stable than inline citations, so they reach a usable confidence interval at lower n.
Gotcha
What the API returns
A single collection call against Gemini app for the sources field, sampled n times and returned as one object per prompt.
