"""Answer VSI-Bench questions deterministically from the final spatial-code shape. The engine uses no LLM, generation, or sampling. Each question-type function performs pure computation over the JSON emitted by the encoder pipeline. Covers all 10 real VSI-Bench question types (counts from the actual uploaded test.jsonl, 5130 questions total): object_size_estimation 953 -- direct: instances[i]["longest dimension"] object_abs_distance 834 -- direct: "closest classes distance meters from" object_rel_distance 710 -- direct: same table, argmin among the options obj_appearance_order 618 -- direct: "appearance order" list object_counting 565 -- direct: objects..count object_rel_direction_medium 378 -- geometry: parsed x/y coordinates object_rel_direction_hard 373 -- geometry: parsed x/y coordinates room_size_estimation 288 -- direct: room["floor area"] object_rel_direction_easy 217 -- geometry: parsed x/y coordinates route_planning 194 -- geometry: parsed x/y coordinates, chained turns WHY THIS WORKS FROM THE FINAL SHAPE (not raw geometry): the emitted "x coordinate"/ "y coordinate"/"height above floor" fields are already expressed in the gravity-aligned floor basis geometric.py's _object_records() builds them in (u, v horizontal; g vertical) -- so in THIS coordinate system, up is always exactly (0, 0, 1). No gravity-vector recovery is needed here, unlike the raw-geometry functions in encoder/geometric.py (answer_rel_direction, _classify_turn, answer_route) that this file's direction/route logic is deliberately modeled after -- same math, re-derived here to operate on parsed unit-strings instead of numpy point clouds, since this file has no encoder/ dependency (see module layout note below). MULTI-INSTANCE DISAMBIGUATION: when a question names a class with multiple instances and gives no way to tell them apart (e.g. "the chair" when there are 8), this engine uses instances[0] -- the spatial code's own strongest-evidence-first ranking (most observed points/frames -- see geometric.py's _object_records docstring), which is both the most reliable geometric estimate of "the real object" and the one a reader/model with no other signal would most likely default to as well. FILE LAYOUT: UNIT PARSING -> GEOMETRY PRIMITIVES -> per-question-type ANSWER FUNCTIONS (ordered to match the real-count table above, most-common first) -> the single public answer(question_type, question, options, code) dispatcher -> DISPLAY. This is a single, self-contained file by design -- no import of encoder/, so it can be dropped anywhere and run against any spatial_code.json (rendered through render_spatial_code()) with only the Python standard library.
