Patent PreCheck

Run a prior-art density / risk-profile pre-check on source code or an invention description. Returns a 0–100 directional score across the four USPTO statutory pillars (§101 eligibility, §102 novelty, §103 non-obviousness, §101 utility), a separate §112 filing-readiness signal, the band (Not Ready → File Ready), the pillar that holds the band back, opportunities to thicken the technical description, and a count of prior-art matches consulted. Show filename + size and get user yes, then pass confirm_upload: true. Pass the text inline via `code`.

Return the closest prior-art matches consulted for an invention (titles, sources, similarity scores, URLs). Runs the same analyze pipeline as precheck_score but focuses on retrieval results. Pass invention text via `code`.
