Visual fluency in generated video does not imply physical reliability, and a scalar quality score alone is incapable of indicating the obligation a clip violates or the moment it fails. We present VeriPhy, an auditable physical-verification system in which a text-only planner compiles the prompt into typed physical obligations and a statically validated execution plan before any frame is observed. During execution, observations gate and scope only declared calls to frozen low-level experts (e.g., segmentation and tracking, counting, eleven typed physical measurements over the resulting tracks, depth, OCR, and audio-event detection). Each action returns a provenance-carrying evidence record whose payload, when usable, is either a typed measurement or an explicitly tagged learned state. Typed resolvers and fixed composition map usable records to a three-valued state (supported, contradicted, or unknown, surfaced as plausible, implausible, or abstain) with full provenance, so that every verdict is traceable to the evidence that produced it. We anchor evaluation in a 1,500-clip corpus of human-annotated flaw records that localize real generation failures in prompt reference, space, and time. On a 149-clip core carrying 304 such records, VeriPhy accounts for 228, against 164 for a published question-decomposition evaluator given the same clips and the same claims. Recall alone does not separate it from prompting the same backbone monolithically, which reaches 222; what separates them is that each decision retains its evidence record and provenance, making the traces auditable one verdict at a time and usable as the interface through which a critic verdict could be written back into generation.

Existing document understanding benchmarks have largely focused on locating page elements, yet real-world document intelligence requires models to reason jointly about region semantics, spatial relations, and visual structure. We present ADOPD 2026, a reasoning-oriented extension of ADOPD that turns page decomposition into spatially grounded document understanding. ADOPD 2026 enriches page anchors inherited from ADOPD 2024 dataset with human-cleaned captions, semantic tags, and generated chain-of-thought (CoT) traces grounded to document regions. Instead of treating boxes, masks, and tags as independent supervision signals, we cast text blocks, visual entities, semantic labels, bounding boxes, and polygon masks as a shared vocabulary of visual anchors. This representation supports three connected capabilities. First, region-level semantic tagging asks models to identify document element types from both page context and local appearance, revealing long-tail semantic failures that standard layout benchmarks often hide. Second, unified vision-language grounding generates text regions and visual entities together with coordinates or polygonal outlines, transforming detection and segmentation outputs into structured anchors that can be reused by downstream reasoning systems. Third, current state-of-the-art models still struggle with dense counting tasks evaluated on DocCount, a benchmark derived from ADOPD 2026, highlighting the need for the Thinking-with-Anchors pipeline in document semantic understanding. By connecting page decomposition to verifiable visual-anchor reasoning, ADOPD 2026 provides a task framework that moves document understanding beyond localization toward anchor-grounded document intelligence.
