Single-file inference module. Wraps stock Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct with a
CLIP-ViT-L/14 query-aware frame selector and an optional task-type-aware
uniform-fallback policy.
Usage::
from dw_queryframes import QueryFrames
fv = QueryFrames(device="mps")
answer = fv.answer_mcq(
video_path="cooking.mp4",
question="What does the chef do after pouring the oil?",
options=["Stirs the oil", "Adds salt", "Pours broth", "Chops herbs"],
task_type=None, # or "Action Recognition" etc. for hybrid mode
