task_puzzles__sudoku__marked_cell_candidate_count

Program Contract

Program: count(candidate_digits(marked_cell, board_state)); scene=sudoku; scope=marked_cell_candidate_count

Candidate set: the visible Sudoku grid, givens, filled values, marked cell, candidate values, and option labels when present inside the marked_cell_candidate_count objective scope. Operands: visible scene state and prompt-bound operands named by candidate_digits, marked_cell, board_state, sudoku, marked_cell_candidate_count. Operation: evaluate count over the candidate set using the visible states, constraints, transforms, comparisons, counts, paths, or option-selection rules encoded in the program expression; generation enforces a unique final answer. Output binding: answer uses the integer schema; generation binds a unique final answer. Annotation witnesses: annotation uses the bbox schema; the prompt/annotation contract defines the minimal visual witnesses. Query ids: single.

Reasoning Operations

Families: counting

Contract

1. Domain: puzzles
2. Scene id: sudoku
3. Public task id: task_puzzles__sudoku__marked_cell_candidate_count
4. Supported query_id values: single
5. Answer schema: integer
6. Annotation schema: bbox

Annotation

annotation is one image-pixel bbox for the red outlined marked empty cell.

Generation Notes

The answer and annotation are bound from the same generated Sudoku board. Scene density, style, font, layout jitter, and target candidate count are generation/render metadata, not public query ids.
