Produce a bibliographic citation for TWMD data — APA, BibTeX, and a re-verifiable token. ★ FOR PAPERS, REGULATORY FILINGS AND ANYTHING A REVIEWER WILL RE-CHECK LATER. A dataset is corrected, backfilled and re-run. Three years from now a reviewer opening our API sees different numbers than the paper, and nobody — author, reviewer, or us — can tell whether the data changed or the author mis-transcribed. So the citation carries `as_of`, the Merkle `checkpoint_root`, and a `verify_url`, plus a signed `reproducible_token` that binds those fields TO EACH OTHER. ★ PASS `as_of` IF YOUR WORK IS POINT-IN-TIME. Without it a citation is still produced, but it is marked `point_in_time: false` and the APA line reads "Retrieved <date>" instead of naming a knowledge horizon — because re-running the same query later can legitimately return different figures, and nothing in the data would mark the difference. ★ WHAT IT PROVES: which data was used, and that those fields were signed by us. **NOT that the figures are correct** — a faithfully committed wrong figure cites and verifies exactly like a right one. `limitations` says so in the response; keep it when you quote the citation. Args: dataset: the dataset id you queried, e.g. 'valuation'. as_of: the knowledge cutoff your work used (YYYY-MM-DD). Omit only for present-day lookups. row_key: pin the citation to one specific row, if you are citing one row.
