Extract (ACU-style) or freshly author (Nugget-style) a list of atomic content units from a paper, optionally tagged vital/okay for importance. Use this as the first step whenever building a reference set of atomic facts for later recall-checking a summary or abstract against the paper — always precedes atomic-unit-matching.
