Is "Luis se comió el pastel" the same as "Luis comió todo el pastel", which would just be a crude translation of english?
Presumably "Luis se comió todo el pastel" would be just repetition?
Would "Luis comió el pastel"? allow that he may only have eaten some of it.
"Luis se comió pastel" maybe does not make sense?
I’m assuming en vez de can’t be used in the same way as por because there is a sense of obligation on behalf of the subject when using por? Yo tomé el carro en vez del autobús. Using por here would be wrong. Yo hice el trabajo por él porque estaba enfermo. En vez de here, would be wrong, right?
I’m wondering if my answer would be acceptable as a possible answer?

To translate 'understand a contract' you suggest 'comprender un contrato'
I was confused so consulted AI which said...
Entender (Intelectual): Se relaciona con la lógica y la percepción de la información. Es saber de qué se habla.Ejemplo: "Entiendo las reglas del juego".Comprender (Vivencial): Implica internalizar, aceptar y poder aplicar el conocimiento. Es "sentir" o experimentar ese conocimiento.Ejemplo: "Comprendo por qué esas reglas son necesarias para que el juego sea justo".So I think it should be entender un contrato.GraciasI’d like to see a comparison of using both to speak about the past

Wondering why there wasn’t an alternative that would include “ya” and “lo”? (I know you addressed this in your reply below for "lo" but wouldn't it be an acceptable answer nevertheless? or is it really a rookie error on my part?
I am trying to make my own sentences using preterite for ir etc. I wrote "Ella fue a casa"
but google is saying it should be "Ella se fue a casa". Why 'se'? is it like saying "she went home (to it)"?
Would it be "El vestido es tan hermoso como una mariposa?" for the dress is as beautiful as a butterfly?
and is this the same for comparing to multiple objects when the described object is singular: La luz es tan brillante como las estrellas.
