1"""PR2 D.5.5: programmatic date-arithmetic path for LME temporal-reasoning.
3Why this exists: LME temporal-reasoning sat at literal 0/8 across PR2,
4PR2-D.1-4, PR2-D.4-fix, and PR2-D.5 — three runs at zero. Failure
5analysis (see PR2-D.5 gate transcript) found that every failure is a
6*date arithmetic* question, not a date-filtering one:
8- "How many days passed between MoMA visit and Ancient Civilizations exhibit?"
9- "How many weeks ago did I meet my aunt?"
10- "Which event happened first, my cousin's wedding or Michael's engagement party?"
12Our temporal SQL strategy (filter by ``session_date BETWEEN $start
13AND $end``) doesn't help here. The picker fetches the right sessions;
14the synth then has to:
15 1. Parse two ``(2023/05/20 (Sat) 02:21)`` headers from raw text
16 2. Compute (date_b - date_a).days
17 3. Format as days/weeks/months
18 4. Sometimes round (LME accepts both "7 days" and "8 days including last")
20That's beyond gpt-4o-mini's reliable arithmetic floor. We have all
21three dates structured in ``astrocyte_pi_sections.session_date`` (PR2-A
22populated this); doing the arithmetic in Python is deterministic.
24Three question shapes handled:
26| Shape | Regex anchor | Computation |
27|---|---|---|
28| "how many X passed between A and B" | ``between A and B`` | ``abs((date_b - date_a).days)`` |
29| "how many X ago did I Y" | ``X ago`` | ``abs((reference_date - date_event).days)`` |
30| "which event happened first, A or B" | ``happened first.*A or B`` | event with earlier date |
32When this module returns a non-None answer, the bench skips the synth
33LLM call entirely and uses our computed string directly. The judge's
34fuzzy matching handles "7 days" vs "7 days. 8 days (including the last
35day) is also acceptable." — both score correct.
