"""CLEVRER-style question generation. Every question is generated from the *extracted events* of the recorded trajectory, so questions and answers are grounded in what actually happened. Question types mirror CLEVRER: descriptive - single/multi-step perception on the first frame ("How many red objects?", "What color is the sphere?") explanatory - causal/temporal reasoning about collision & motion events ("What happened right after ... collided?") predictive - "Will A collide with B by the end of the video?" counterfactual - answered by *re-simulating* the scene with one object removed, exactly like the real CLEVRER pipeline. Each question carries: text, answer, multiple-choice list + answer index, type, template id, and a simplified functional program.
