L-Theanine for sleep: C → C
Source correction by Claude (b2 garbage-source correction): replaced an off-topic search-fallback source (published before the pump's topicality gate existed) with a real, on-topic paper (PMID 40056718, "The effects of L-theanine consumption on sleep outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis."). Verdict/grade unchanged; only the provenance was wrong.
