"""FinIR-Intent baseline: a deterministic, rule-based NL -> FinIR Intent compiler.
This is the constrained structured-output baseline for the first milestone (see
docs/huggingface-intent-handoff.md in the FinIR repo). It is intentionally *not* a
trained model: a small, fully offline, dependency-free pattern matcher that emits
exactly the canonical envelope defined by ``finir.intent`` -- the same JSON Schema
and Python types the core runtime already validates and executes.
Design boundary (do not blur this):
* This module only *interprets* natural language into the canonical envelope.
* It never performs financial arithmetic beyond parsing a number out of text.
* It never invents a quantity for vague language -- that maps to ``ambiguous``.
* It never guesses which of several conflicting operations on the same target the
user meant -- that also maps to ``ambiguous`` rather than silently picking one.
* Target names, units and the operation vocabulary are exactly the ones in
``finir.intent.schema`` / ``schemas/finir-intent-v1.schema.json``. No new fields,
no alias resolution inside the contract -- alias resolution happens here, before
the envelope is emitted, exactly as ``docs/intent-contract.md`` requires.
Supported phrasing is deliberately narrow and documented in MODEL_CARD.md. Natural
language outside these patterns correctly falls back to ``ambiguous`` (a target was
named but no parseable quantity was found) rather than being guessed.
