Description

All Python benchmarks require JSON as input. However, we never verify that the provided input matches expectations. When users invoke benchmarks incorrectly, they should receive a helpful notification. Right now, they usually receive a Python exception where a variable loaded from JSON ends up being None.

All benchmarks should verify that the input values are provided in the JSON and are of correct type, and return a clear error message upon a failure.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add input validation functions in each Python benchmark to verify JSON input structure and types, returning clear error messages for misuse.
