arXiv 2608.04756 observes that post-retrieval conflict resolution catches existing black-box poisoning because every prior method asserts its target answer in frontal contradiction to settled context. PURPOSE extracts query-related facts approximating the resolver's likely reference, then grounds a pivot event in them, framing the injection as a consistent update. Highest ASR in 35 of 45 settings across three QA benchmarks, five generators and three conflict-resolution methods, beating the strongest prior attack by a mean of 9.7 points. Conflict-detection defenses key on a contradiction signal the attacker can simply decline to emit.
