Research direction

Start with nemo/NeMo-Data-Designer/advanced/multimodal/visual-question-answering-using-vlm.ipynb and run the visual-question-answering example to reproduce the PROMPT_WITHOUT_REFERENCES warning. Trace the validator path used by multi_modal_context; done means an image-only context no longer produces this warning while genuine prompts without references still do.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When an image is passed as context using the multi_modal_context parameter and no other column is referenced in the prompt, the validator throws an incorrect warning, PROMPT_WITHOUT_REFERENCES.

See visual-question-answering.ipynb to reproduce the error.
