"""PhotoAgent reproduction core — open-substitute implementation.

Paper: PhotoAgent: Exploratory Visual Aesthetic Planning with Large Vision Models
(arXiv 2602.22809, OpenReview Ws8swqL5ob)

This is an independent, faithful reproduction of the PhotoAgent *algorithm* using
open-weight substitutes for the proprietary backbone the paper uses:
  - Perceiver (VLM): Qwen2.5-VL  -> replaced here by a lightweight local captioner +
    template candidate-action generator (documented backend swap).
  - Planner: MCTS over editing trajectories (faithful re-implementation).
  - Executor: GPT-Image-1 / Flux.1 Kontext / Nano Banana / Step1X-Edit ->
    stepfun-ai/Step1X-Edit (open, instruction-based).
  - Evaluator: UGC reward model -> q-future/VQA-UGC-Scorer-llava_qwen (UGC-specific)
    + shunk031/aesthetics-predictor-v2 (ImageReward proxy) + CLIP similarity.

Run at toy scale (small image set) because the paper's assets (UGC-Edit 7000 photos,
the 1017-photo test set, proprietary editors) are NOT released.
