  "summary": "Existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibits a critical bottleneck in robust spatial reasoning. Recent reinforcement learning (RL) methods aim to close this gap with verifiable outcomes, yet they suffer from poor credit assignment across intermediate reasoning steps. Concurrently, structured reasoning approaches overlook the critical depth perception necessary for comprehensive 3D…",
