Description

I have a feeling we need to improve the answer generation, and my best bet is that we would be better off copying the logic of the TypeScript answer generation code.

This is a pretty big project (you almost have to start from scratch) but it is self-contained -- almost all the current logic is in answers.py.

Research direction

Start with answers.py and compare its current answer-generation logic with the TypeScript answer-generation implementation. Map the existing Python behavior to the TypeScript version and verify that the rewritten Python implementation matches it; the issue does not name specific tests or entry points.
