[Atlas] Add references to 25 wiki pages missing refs_json done

Goal

Backfill real citation references for wiki pages whose refs_json field is empty. Citation coverage strengthens Atlas provenance, search, and page quality gates.

Acceptance Criteria

Approach

Query wiki pages where refs_json is null, empty, or an empty JSON value.

Prioritize pages with substantive content and clear biomedical entities.

Find citations from existing page text, linked papers, PubMed, or NeuroWiki provenance.

Update refs_json and verify citation identifiers are valid.

Dependencies

• 415b277f-03b - Atlas quest
• Wiki pages, paper records, and citation lookup tools

Dependents

• Wiki quality gates, entity pages, and Atlas provenance metrics
