+SatQuery AI - Agent State Schema
+Tracks the entire lifecycle of a satellite intelligence user request across the LangGraph state graph.
+Includes rich schemas for:
+- Inputs: Raw query, uploaded image paths (single, bi-temporal, optical-SAR), formats (GeoTIFF, COG, PNG).
+- Image Modality Detection: Per-image TypedDict records capturing detected modality (optical, SAR, bi_temporal,
+  multispectral), band count, sensor identity, acquisition time, and spatial role in the workflow.
+- Thought Process: Classified task ("VQA", "change_detection", "grounding", "cross_modal_fusion"), selected
+  specialist models, and reasoning traces.
+- Multi-Step Execution: Chained compound query pipelines and execution queues.
+- Validation Flags: Format support, modality compatibility, geospatial boundary checks, and error logs.
+- Intermediate Tool Outputs: Named typed slots — vqa_answer, spatial_masks, bounding_boxes, change_mask,
+  land_cover_labels, fusion_result — replacing opaque dict lookups in downstream nodes.
+- Tool Confidence Scores: Per-specialist floating-point confidence registry.
+- Auditable Execution Trace: Append-only list of ExecutionTraceEntry records logging tool name,
+  parameters, status, confidence, latency, and error for every tool call in the pipeline.
+- Outputs: Final textual answer, spatial outputs (bounding boxes, change masks, GeoJSON), and confidence scores.
+
+Primary TypedDicts
+------------------
+- RSAgentState       : Comprehensive LangGraph state for the remote-sensing agent workflow.
+- ImageModalityEntry : Per-image metadata record with detected modality and spatial role.
+- ExecutionTraceEntry: Auditable per-tool-call log entry.
+- IntermediateToolOutputs : Named intermediate result slots for all specialist tools.
+- BoundingBoxEntry   : Lightweight TypedDict for a single grounding detection.
+- SpatialMaskEntry   : Lightweight TypedDict for a change / segmentation mask reference.

+
+    Designed to be the *single source of truth* passed between all graph nodes.
+    It extends the capabilities of AgentState with:
+
+    1.  **Explicit image modality tracking** via image_inputs (List[ImageModalityEntry]).
+        Each element records the image path, auto-detected sensor modality, band count,
+        spatial role (primary / optical / sar / t1 / t2), and raster metadata so that
+        routing nodes can make task decisions without re-opening files.
+
+    2.  **Named intermediate tool output slots** via tool_outputs (IntermediateToolOutputs).
+        Replaces the opaque Dict[str, Any] with explicit typed fields:
+        vqa_answer, bounding_boxes, spatial_masks, change_mask, land_cover_labels,
+        fusion_result, etc.  Downstream nodes read these by name, not by string key.
+
+    3.  **Per-tool confidence registry** via tool_confidence_scores Dict[str, float].
+        Maps tool canonical name to its last-reported confidence score.  Used by
+        the synthesis node to compute weighted final confidence.
+
+    4.  **Auditable execution trace** via execution_trace (List[ExecutionTraceEntry]).
+        Append-only list (LangGraph operator.add reducer) capturing every tool call:
+        tool name, exact input parameters, status, result summary, confidence,
+        wall-clock latency, and error details.
+
+    LangGraph Reducer Annotations
+    ------------------------------
