Bluebook Citations Fixer

Rewrites Zotero’s citation output inside the integration pipeline to apply Bluebook rules that CSL alone can’t express cleanly (hereinafter, journal volume/year, book pincites, manual “Break id.”, and a style gate that keeps the plugin dormant under any style but your own). The document-aware rules (hereinafter and “Break id.”) apply on a full Zotero refresh.
