 - Every subtask's [start_time, end_time] must lie within
   [0.0, {episode_duration}] seconds.
 
+SPECIAL CASES — verb disambiguation (each rule is narrowly visual and
+fires ONLY on the spatial situation it names; it must not change how you
+label any other situation):
+- STACK vs PUT: if an object is placed ON TOP OF another specific object
+  (not on a flat table / shelf / counter), use "stack ... on ...", not
+  "put". "stack blue book on green book", NOT "put blue book on table".
+- INSERT vs PUT: if an object goes INTO a fitted slot / hole / socket /
+  receptacle (push-fit), use "insert ... into ...", not "put".
+- RETRIEVE/PICK-UP vs PUT (direction): watch the gripper. If it CLOSES
+  on the object and the object moves WITH the hand, it is "pick up" /
+  "retrieve" (object leaves its location). If the gripper OPENS and the
+  object stays where the hand left it, it is "put" / "place" (object
+  arrives at a location). Decide by which way the object moves, not by
+  where the hand ends up.
+- POUR vs PUT: only use "pour" when the source is tilted and contents
+  flow out; moving a full container without tilting is "put"/"place".
