fix: inline citations now upgrade to highlighted view (Phase 5.4)

- Added sub_question_text to frontend SourceMetadata type
- SubQuestionSection enriches sources with parent sub-question text
- buildCitationUrl routes to highlight page when sub_question_text present
- processCitations threads highlightReadyKeys through inline citations
