"""
Bi-temporal change detection + change-VQA specialist "model".

Phase 7 (P0). Satisfies PS requirements:
- "Multi-image change analysis: Change description or change-based visual
   question answering from a bi-temporal image pair shall be mandatory."
- "A spatial change map may also be generated where reference masks are
   available."

MODEL CHOICE β€” deterministic pixel-difference change map, NOT a learned
change-detection network.
- There is no lightweight, pip-installable, genuinely pretrained bi-temporal
  RS change-detection model that satisfies "prefer existing pretrained
  models" AND "avoid unnecessary infrastructure" AND fits a 4-day build.
  The realistic off-the-shelf options (e.g. open-cd / torchange toolkits)
  need dataset-specific checkpoints and non-trivial setup β€” not a
  hackathon-week integration.
- The master brief explicitly sanctions this fallback for exactly this
  situation (Β§ Day 3 / Optical+SAR guidance): "You don't need a perfect
  model. You need working end-to-end output" and "simple fusion/classifier"
  is an acceptable MVP approach.
- What this IS: registered-pixel absolute difference on percentile-stretched
  grayscale, thresholded and morphologically cleaned into a binary change
  mask, summarized into a change percentage and largest-region bounding
  box. This is a classical CV heuristic, not a learned detector β€” it will
  react to illumination/seasonal differences as well as real change. State
  that explicitly in every response; never call this "AI-detected change"
  without qualification.
- Change-VQA path reuses the Phase 5 BLIP-VQA model (see models/vqa.py) by
  feeding it a single composite image (before | diff | after, side by side)
  plus the user's question, then combines that free-text answer with the
  deterministic change stats (percentage, direction) computed above. This
  is a composite-image VQA heuristic, NOT a purpose-built CDVQA model
  (the PS names CDVQA as an *evaluation* benchmark for this capability,
  not a mandated architecture) β€” disclosed, not hidden.
- License/cost: zero extra dependencies beyond numpy/Pillow/rasterio
  (already in requirements.txt) for the change map; VQA path reuses the
  already-installed BLIP-VQA weights, so no new model download.
