Question #1: how does the program know that a primitive needs to be
inverted?

When it finds that any face of a primitive needs to be inverted. We
would have to fix the current primitives so that all faces are pointing
to the same direction. Take a look at the sphere primitive for example,
it has faces pointing inside and outside the sphere.

OK, that sounds reasonable -- it's something that a clean-up program
could look for, even though it's not practical for a rendering program
to do the same.
