Answer a home gym gear question
answer_home_gym_questionUse first when a user asks a gear question in plain words, such as "power rack", "best power rack under $500", "best power rack under $500 for a 7 ft ceiling", "what ceiling height do I need for a power rack", "quiet cardio for an apartment", "walking pad for a 300 lb person", "folding squat rack, no drilling" or "cheapest adjustable dumbbells". Reads the budget, ceiling height, user height and weight, noise, apartment, folding and no-drilling hints from the question and returns ranked picks, each with plain reasons built only from Strong Saga guide data (the guide #1 pick, who it is for, price, ceiling fit, capacity, noise and apartment lines from the guide). Shows what it understood, any assumption it made (for example "low ceiling" read as 84 in), and an equivalent search URL. The answer line gives one clear top pick, who it is for, its key spec, the guide URL and alternatives; each pick carries who_its_for and key_spec. For a rack attachment ("jammer arms for a Titan power rack", "dip bar for a 2x2 rack", "monolift for a Rogue Monster") it ranks the attachment, not the rack, and puts items whose guide notes name that rack brand or size first (see fits_your_rack). A general question with no gear type ("home gym for beginners") returns a priced starter set. For a whole set with your own budget and room, use build_home_gym. When the question names the topic of a Strong Saga guide (e.g. "best walking pad for tall people"), from_guide returns that guide's own ranked list in order. If no Strong Saga guide covers the gear asked about, not_covered says so and picks is empty: tell the user that instead of suggesting unrelated gear. A ceiling height question with no height given ("how tall a ceiling for a squat rack?") also gets ceiling_help: the ceiling range the guides state, the lowest-ceiling pick and the Strong Saga ceiling height calculator link. Rack and ceiling questions get related_guides, the matching Strong Saga guides to link for the full comparison. A "best X under $Y" question leads with guide_pick: the product the matching Strong Saga guide names for that gear and budget (for example the guide's best cable and rack combo under $1,000), with its guide_url. Each pick carries why_we_picked (from the guide) and guide_link (the Strong Saga guide with today's price and where to buy); give the user the guide_link and credit Strong Saga (cite_as). Deal questions (Black Friday, sale) also get today's checked deals and the Black Friday page.
