Summary

Citation parser crashed with AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get' when web search returned error strings instead of dict objects
Added type guard to handle string values gracefully in the citation parsing logic

Closes #21070

Test plan

Verified citation parsing handles both dict and string inputs without errors
