Reference: Fail Criteria

Finding Response
bibcite has no D11 release Evaluate alternatives (custom entity type, Scholarly Communications module)
A critical reference type is missing Assess whether a custom bundle can fill the gap
No equivalent for zotero_feed workflow Design a custom config entity or Feeds-based approach
Zotero API credentials are expired Obtain current credentials from Sources site admin
Citation output differs significantly Identify correct CSL style; document differences for stakeholder review
