-# CLAUDE.md
-
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Project Overview
-
-Eagle0 is a multi-language gaming system combining strategic turn-based gameplay (Eagle) with tactical hex-based combat (Shardok). The system integrates LLM-based narrative generation and supports both human and AI players.
-
-## Architecture
-
-**Three-Tier Game System:**
- **Unity Client (C#)**: Real-time strategy game client with integrated tactical combat UI
- **Eagle (Scala)**: Strategic layer managing turn-based gameplay, diplomacy, hero progression, and province control
- **Shardok (C++)**: Tactical layer handling real-time hex-based combat simulation with performance-critical battle resolution
-
-**Communication Flow:**
-```
-Unity Client ↔ Eagle (gRPC streaming) ↔ Shardok (internal gRPC) 
-```
-
-**Key Entry Points:**
- `/src/main/csharp/net/eagle0/clients/unity/eagle0/` - Unity C# game client
- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/Main.scala` - Eagle strategic game server
- `/src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/shardok_server_main.cpp` - Shardok tactical server
-
-**Protocol Buffer Architecture:**
- Extensive use of protobuf for type-safe communication
- Separate packages: `api/` (client-facing), `internal/` (server state), `views/` (client projections)
- Event sourcing pattern with immutable action history
-
-## Essential Commands
-
-### Building
-```bash
-# Build Eagle server (Scala strategic layer)
-bazel build //src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle:eagle_server_deploy.jar
-
-# Build Shardok server (C++ tactical layer) 
-bazel build -c opt //src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok:shardok-server
-
-# Build Unity/C# client
-./scripts/build_protos.sh         # Protocol buffer generation for Unity
-./scripts/build_plugins.sh        # Native plugins for all platforms  
-./scripts/build_windows_plugin.sh # Windows-specific plugin build
-# Unity builds via CI: ci/github_actions/build_unity.sh
-```
-
-### Running Services
-```bash
-# Eagle server (port 40032)
-bazel run //src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle:eagle_server -- --eagle-grpc-port 40032
-# Or: ./scripts/eagle_run.sh
-
-# Shardok server  
-bazel run //src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok:shardok-server --compilation_mode=opt
-# Or: ./scripts/shardok_run.sh
-```
-
-### Testing
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-bazel test //src/test/... //src/main/go/...
-
-# Component-specific tests
-bazel test //src/test/scala/...  # Scala Eagle tests
-bazel test //src/test/cpp/...    # C++ Shardok tests
-```
-
-### Code Generation
-```bash
-bazel run gazelle              # Update Go build files
-./scripts/updateActionResultTypes.sh   # Update protocol buffer mappings
-```
-
-### Code Formatting
-```bash
-# ALWAYS run clang-format after making any C++ or C# code changes
-clang-format -i <modified_files>
-
-# Format all C++ files in a directory:
-find . -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.hpp" | xargs clang-format -i
-
-# Format all C# files in a directory:
-find . -name "*.cs" | xargs clang-format -i
-```
-
-### Static Analysis
-```bash
-# Run clang-tidy static analysis on C++ files
-# Note: This may show some header include errors but will still analyze the main file
-bazel run @llvm_toolchain//:clang-tidy -- --checks='readability-*,bugprone-*,clang-analyzer-*' <file_path> -- -I/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0 -std=c++20
-
-# Example for AI files:
-bazel run @llvm_toolchain//:clang-tidy -- --checks='readability-*,bugprone-*,clang-analyzer-*' /Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0/src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/ai/AIUnitScoreCalculator.cpp -- -I/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0 -std=c++20
-```
-
-## Language-Specific Patterns
-
-**Scala (Strategic Layer):**
- Use `EngineImpl.scala` for core game logic modifications
- Follow event sourcing pattern - all changes through immutable actions
- gRPC streaming for real-time client updates via `EagleServiceImpl.scala`
- LLM integration in `/common/llm_integration/` for narrative generation
-
-**C++ (Tactical Layer):**
- Performance-critical combat in `ShardokEngine.hpp/.cpp`
- FlatBuffers for efficient serialization in `/flatbuffer/` directory
- AI systems in `/ai/` subdirectory with pluggable strategy selectors
- Extensive unit testing with Google Test framework
-
-**Protocol Buffers:**
- Three-layer structure: `api/` (client), `internal/` (server), `views/` (projections)
- Use `shardok_internal_interface.proto` for Eagle-Shardok communication
- Maintain backward compatibility when modifying existing messages
-
-**C# (Unity Client):**
- Located in `/src/main/csharp/net/eagle0/clients/unity/eagle0/`
- Uses Unity 6 (6000.0.32f1) with comprehensive protobuf integration (100+ .proto files)
- Key components: `EagleConnection.cs` (gRPC client), `EagleGameController.cs` (main game logic)
- Real-time bidirectional streaming with server via `PersistentClientConnection.cs`
- Strategic map UI in `Assets/Eagle/`, tactical battle UI in `Assets/Shardok/`
- Seamless transition between strategic gameplay and hex-based tactical combat
-
-**Go (Build Tools):**
- Build automation and code generation utilities
- AWS S3 integration for deployment artifacts
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
- Comprehensive unit tests for both Scala and C++ components
- Integration tests for Eagle-Shardok communication
- Map validation tests ensure game content integrity
- Use `GameSettings_test_utils.cpp` and `ShardokEngineBasedTestData.cpp` for C++ test helpers
-
-## Performance Testing
-
-When making performance-related changes to the AI or engine:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Commit your changes to a feature branch
-git checkout -b performance-improvement-feature
-git add . && git commit -m "Implement performance improvement"
-
-# 2. Run performance tests multiple times on your branch to reduce noise
-for i in 1 2 3; do 
-    echo "=== Run $i ===" 
-    ./scripts/ai_perf_test.sh 2>&1 | grep -A 20 "AI Search Performance Summary" 
-done
-# Save or note the results
-
-# 3. Switch to main branch and run the same tests
-git checkout main
-for i in 1 2 3; do 
-    echo "=== Run $i ===" 
-    ./scripts/ai_perf_test.sh 2>&1 | grep -A 20 "AI Search Performance Summary" 
-done
-
-# 4. Compare the results between your branch and main
-# Key metrics to compare:
-# - Commands evaluated at each depth (e.g., "Depth 3: 169/523 commands")
-# - Average search depth achieved
-# - Completion rates at each depth
-```
-
-**Important notes:**
- Run tests multiple times (3-5) to account for performance variance
- Focus on commands evaluated at each depth rather than total commands
- Commands at different depths aren't directly comparable (depth 3 is more valuable than depth 2)
- **Always test performance changes** - what seems like an optimization may sometimes have unexpected overhead or behavior changes.
-
-## Game Content
-
-**Maps:** `.e0mj` files in `/src/main/resources/net/eagle0/shardok/maps/`
-**Configuration:** Game parameters in `/src/main/resources/net/eagle0/eagle/game_parameters.json`
-**Data Files:** TSV format for battalions, heroes, and other game data
-
-## Deployment
-
- Bazel handles multi-language builds and dependencies
- CI/CD via GitHub Actions with platform-specific build scripts in `/ci/github_actions/`
- Docker containerization available via `ci/eagle_run.Dockerfile`

-# Transposition Table Pruning Optimization
-
-## Overview
-This document describes an optimization to prune duplicate game states during AI search, preventing redundant exploration of positions we've already seen in the current search path.
-
-## The Problem
-Currently, when the AI encounters the same game state through different move sequences (a transposition), it may explore the same subtree multiple times. This wastes computational resources.
-
-## The Solution
-Implement **transposition pruning** - when we encounter a game state that's already in our current search path, we immediately return without further exploration.
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### 1. Add Path Tracking
-We need to track which game states are currently being explored in the search tree:
-
-```cpp
-// Add to AIScoreCalculator.cpp
-thread_local std::unordered_set<uint64_t> t_currentSearchPath;
-
-// RAII helper to manage path tracking
-class SearchPathGuard {
-    uint64_t hash;
-    bool added;
-public:
-    SearchPathGuard(uint64_t h) : hash(h), added(false) {
-        auto [_, inserted] = t_currentSearchPath.insert(hash);
-        added = inserted;
-    }
-    ~SearchPathGuard() {
-        if (added) {
-            t_currentSearchPath.erase(hash);
-        }
-    }
-    bool wasAlreadyInPath() const { return !added; }
-};
-```
-
-### 2. Modify BasicLookaheadCalculator
-Add duplicate detection at the start of the function:
-
-```cpp
-auto BasicLookaheadCalculator(...) {
-    // Get hash of current state
-    uint64_t stateHash = hashGameState(innerEngine->GetCurrentGameState());
-    
-    // Check if we're already exploring this state
-    SearchPathGuard pathGuard(stateHash);
-    if (pathGuard.wasAlreadyInPath()) {
-        // State is already being explored - return neutral value
-        std::promise<ScoreValue> p;
-        p.set_value(0.0);  // Or return current evaluation
-        return p.get_future();
-    }
-    
-    // Continue with existing transposition table check...
-    auto cachedScore = g_transpositionTable.probe(...);
-    // ... rest of function
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Modify CalcOne
-Similar check when creating new engine states:
-
-```cpp
-auto CalcOne(...) {
-    auto innerEngine = std::make_shared<ShardokEngine>(guessedEngine, false);
-    innerEngine->PostCommand(pid, commandIndex, randomGenerator);
-    
-    // Check for duplicate state after applying move
-    uint64_t stateHash = hashGameState(innerEngine->GetCurrentGameState());
-    if (t_currentSearchPath.count(stateHash) > 0) {
-        // This move leads to a state we're already exploring
-        std::promise<ScoreValue> p;
-        p.set_value(AIScoreCalculator::GuessedStateScore(...));  // Return static eval
-        returnValue.lookaheadScore = p.get_future();
-        return returnValue;
-    }
-    
-    // Continue with normal evaluation...
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Add Metrics
-Track how often pruning occurs:
-
-```cpp
-struct PruningStats {
-    std::atomic<uint64_t> duplicatesDetected{0};
-    std::atomic<uint64_t> branchesPruned{0};
-    std::atomic<uint64_t> nodesExplored{0};
-    
-    void print() const {
-        printf("Pruning Stats: %lu duplicates, %lu pruned, %.2f%% pruning rate\n",
-               duplicatesDetected.load(), branchesPruned.load(),
-               100.0 * branchesPruned.load() / nodesExplored.load());
-    }
-};
-
-static PruningStats g_pruningStats;
-```
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Reduced Computation**: Avoid exploring identical positions multiple times
-2. **Better Depth**: Can search deeper with the same time budget
-3. **Cache Efficiency**: Better use of transposition table space
-4. **Deterministic Results**: More consistent evaluations
-
-## Potential Issues
-
-1. **Hash Collisions**: Need robust hashing to avoid false positives
-2. **Thread Safety**: Path tracking must be thread-local
-3. **Memory Usage**: Set of visited states grows with search depth
-4. **Evaluation Consistency**: Need to handle different depths appropriately
-
-## Alternative Approaches
-
-### Option 1: Store "In Progress" Flag in Transposition Table
-Instead of a separate set, mark entries in the transposition table as "currently being explored":
-
-```cpp
-struct TTEntry {
-    // ... existing fields ...
-    std::atomic<bool> in_progress;  // Flag for current exploration
-    std::atomic<std::thread::id> exploring_thread;  // Which thread is exploring
-};
-```
-
-### Option 2: Depth-Limited Path Tracking
-Only track states from the last N moves to limit memory usage:
-
-```cpp
-thread_local std::deque<uint64_t> t_recentStates;
-constexpr size_t MAX_PATH_HISTORY = 10;
-```
-
-### Option 3: Bloom Filter for Approximate Detection
-Use a Bloom filter for memory-efficient approximate duplicate detection:
-
-```cpp
-class BloomFilter {
-    std::bitset<65536> filter;
-    // Multiple hash functions for low false positive rate
-};
-```
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-1. **Correctness Tests**:
-   - Verify same evaluation with and without pruning
-   - Test with known transposition-heavy positions
-   - Check thread safety with concurrent searches
-
-2. **Performance Tests**:
-   - Measure nodes explored with/without pruning
-   - Time to depth comparisons
-   - Memory usage monitoring
-
-3. **Regression Tests**:
-   - Ensure no degradation in playing strength
-   - Verify deterministic behavior
-
-## Implementation Priority
-
-1. **Phase 1**: Basic path tracking with thread-local set
-2. **Phase 2**: Add metrics and logging
-3. **Phase 3**: Optimize memory usage if needed
-4. **Phase 4**: Consider more sophisticated approaches if beneficial
-
-## Expected Impact
-
-Based on typical game tree structures, we expect:
- 10-30% reduction in nodes explored
- 15-25% increase in achievable search depth
- Minimal memory overhead (< 1MB per thread)
- More consistent move selection in transposition-heavy positions

-# Testing the Transposition Pruning Optimization
-
-## What We've Implemented
-
-The transposition pruning optimization adds the following features to AIScoreCalculator:
-
-1. **Thread-local path tracking** (`t_currentSearchPath`) - tracks game state hashes currently being explored
-2. **SearchPathGuard** - RAII class to automatically manage path insertion/removal  
-3. **Duplicate detection** in both `BasicLookaheadCalculator` and `CalcOne`
-4. **Pruning statistics** - tracks how often duplicates are detected and branches are pruned
-5. **Public API functions**:
-   - `resetSearchPath()` - clear path at start of search
-   - `printPruningStats()` - display statistics 
-   - `resetPruningStats()` - reset counters
-
-## How It Works
-
-### In BasicLookaheadCalculator:
-```cpp
-// Check if we're already exploring this state
-SearchPathGuard pathGuard(stateHash);
-if (pathGuard.wasAlreadyInPath()) {
-    // Return current utility, increment pruning stats
-    return future_with_current_utility;
-}
-// Continue with normal transposition table check and search...
-```
-
-### In CalcOne:
-```cpp
-// After applying a move, check if resulting state is already being explored
-if (t_currentSearchPath.count(newStateHash) > 0) {
-    // Return static evaluation, don't search further
-    return static_evaluation;
-}
-// Continue with normal lookahead search...
-```
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Prevents infinite loops** - cycles in the game tree are detected and cut short
-2. **Reduces redundant computation** - same positions aren't explored multiple times
-3. **Enables deeper search** - saved time can be used for exploring new positions
-4. **Maintains correctness** - returns reasonable evaluations (current/static eval) for pruned branches
-
-## Performance Monitoring
-
-The optimization includes comprehensive statistics:
- `duplicatesDetected` - how many times we found a duplicate state
- `branchesPruned` - how many subtrees were cut short
- `nodesExplored` - total nodes considered (for pruning rate calculation)
-
-## Thread Safety
-
- Uses `thread_local` storage for path tracking, so each thread has its own search path
- No synchronization needed between threads
- Statistics use atomic counters for safe concurrent updates
-
-## Usage
-
-To use the optimization:
-
-```cpp
-// At start of AI search
-AIScoreCalculator::resetSearchPath();
-AIScoreCalculator::resetPruningStats();
-
-// Run normal AI calculations...
-auto score = AIScoreCalculator::CommandScore(...);
-
-// At end of search
-AIScoreCalculator::printPruningStats();
-```
-
-## Expected Results
-
-In game positions with transpositions (same position reachable via different move sequences), we should see:
- Non-zero `duplicatesDetected` count
- Significant pruning rate (5-20% in complex positions)
- No change in final move selection quality
- Potentially faster search times or deeper achievable search depths
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-1. **Correctness**: Run existing tests to ensure no regressions
-2. **Functionality**: Create positions known to have transpositions
-3. **Performance**: Measure search time and depth with/without optimization
-4. **Statistics**: Verify counters increment appropriately
-
-The optimization is conservative - it only prunes when absolutely safe (duplicate state in current path) and returns reasonable fallback evaluations.

-# Occupants Vector Optimization - Conversion Report
-
-## Overview
-
-This document details the implementation of an embedded occupants vector in the GameState flatbuffer to replace O(n)
-unit iteration with O(1) position lookups. It also catalogs all Occupant() and KnownEnemyOccupant() calls that could not
-be converted to use the new optimized methods.

-
-### KnownEnemyOccupant() Conversions
-
-**Result: 0 conversions possible**
-
-All KnownEnemyOccupant() calls are in command factory methods that receive decomposed game state parameters (Units*,
-vector<PlayerId>, etc.) rather than complete GameStateW objects.
-
-## Remaining Unconverted Calls
-
-### Occupant() Calls That Cannot Be Converted
-
-#### 1. PerformUndeadCommandsAction.cpp (2 calls - No GameStateW access)
-
- **Line 69**: `Occupant(units, FromCoordsProto(possibleAttackCommandProto.target()))`
- **Line 99**: `Occupant(units, adjCoords)`
- **Reason**: These calls are in the `ChooseUndeadCommand()` function which only receives `const Units* units`
-  parameter, not a full GameStateW.
- **Location**: `src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/library/actions/PerformUndeadCommandsAction.cpp`
-
-#### 2. AICommandFilter.cpp (1 call - Raw pointer access)
-
- **Line 399**: `KnownEnemyOccupant(pid, units, allyPids, fireLocation)` (in EXTINGUISH_FIRE_COMMAND case)
- **Reason**: Method receives `const GameState* gameState` parameter, not GameStateW. Has TODO comment noting this
-  limitation.
- **Location**: `src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/ai/AICommandFilter.cpp`
-
-#### 3. UpdateGameStatusAction.cpp - Member Variable Usage
-
- **Various calls**: Uses `gameState` member variable of type `const GameState*`
- **Reason**: Class was designed to take raw GameState pointer in constructor, though InternalExecute method has
-  GameStateW access.
- **Location**: `src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/library/actions/UpdateGameStatusAction.cpp`
-
-#### 4. IceAndSnowAdjustmentActionFactory.cpp (1 call - Factory pattern)
-
- **Line 42**: `Occupant(units, coords)`
- **Reason**: Factory method receives individual parameters, not GameStateW.
- **Location**: `src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/library/action_factories/IceAndSnowAdjustmentActionFactory.cpp`
-
-### KnownEnemyOccupant() Calls That Cannot Be Converted
-
-#### Command Factory Methods (8 calls - No GameStateW access)
-
-1. **RepairCommandFactory.cpp** - Line 44
-2. **FearCommandFactory.cpp** - Line 35
-3. **LightningBoltCommandFactory.cpp** - Line 54
-4. **ReduceCommandFactory.cpp** - Line 48
-5. **ChallengeDuelCommandFactory.cpp** - Line 35
-6. **HideCommandFactory.cpp** - Line 45
-7. **MeleeCommandFactory.cpp** - Line 58
-8. **ArcheryCommandFactory.cpp** - Line 89
-
-**Common Reason**: All command factory methods follow a pattern where they receive individual game state components (
-`Units* units`, `vector<PlayerId> allyPids`, etc.) rather than a complete GameStateW object.
-
-#### Utility Functions (3 calls - Utility function parameters)
-
-1. **HexMapUtils.cpp** - Lines 81, 670
-2. **ZoneOfControlCalculator.cpp** - Line 143
-
-**Reason**: These are utility functions that take decomposed parameters for reusability across different contexts.
-
-## Performance Impact
-
-### Achieved Improvements
-
- **16 Occupant() calls** converted from O(n) iteration to O(1) lookup
- Eliminated cache invalidation issues with thread-local approach
- Automatic copying of occupants vector with GameState copies
- **Estimated Performance Gain**: 2-5% reduction in AI search time for typical game states
-
-### Trade-offs
-
- **Memory Overhead**: 168 bytes per GameState (14×12 map = 168 int16 values)
- **Incremental Updates**: ActionResultApplier now maintains occupants vector via UpdateOccupant() calls
- **Copy Cost**: Slightly higher GameState copy overhead offset by O(1) lookup benefits
-
-## Architectural Patterns Identified
-
-### Convertible Patterns
-
-1. **Command InternalExecute methods**: Have access to `const GameStateW& currentState`
-2. **Action InternalExecute methods**: Have access to `const GameStateW& currentState`
-3. **Factory methods with GameStateW parameters**: Can access embedded occupants vector
-
-### Non-Convertible Patterns
-
-1. **Command Factory methods**: Receive decomposed parameters (`Units*`, `HexMap*`, etc.)
-2. **Utility functions**: Take individual components for reusability
-3. **Engine methods**: Often work with raw `GameState*` pointers
-4. **Legacy member variables**: Classes storing `const GameState*` instead of `GameStateW`
-
-## Recommendations for Future Work
-
-### Potential Additional Conversions
-
-1. **Refactor command factories** to accept GameStateW instead of decomposed parameters
-2. **Update ShardokEngine** to use GameStateW internally where possible
-3. **Create GameStateW constructors** from raw GameState* to enable more conversions
-4. **Modernize legacy classes** to use GameStateW member variables
-
-### Copy-on-Write Consideration
-
-The user suggested implementing copy-on-write (COW) for GameStateW to reduce memory allocation overhead during AI
-search. This could provide additional performance benefits by eliminating unnecessary copying of the occupants vector.
-
-## Technical Implementation Details
-
-### Core Changes Made
-
-1. **game_state.fbs**: Added `occupants:[int16];` field
-2. **GameStateW.cpp**: Implemented GetOccupant() and UpdateOccupant() methods
-3. **GameStateCopier.cpp**: Populates occupants vector during GameState creation
-4. **ActionResultApplier.cpp**: Maintains occupants vector during unit movement
-
-### Key Method Signatures
-
-```cpp
-// O(1) occupant lookup
-auto GameStateW::GetOccupant(const Coords& coords) const -> const Unit*;
-
-// O(1) enemy occupant lookup  
-auto GameStateW::GetKnownEnemyOccupant(
-    PlayerId playerId,
-    const std::vector<PlayerId>& allyPids, 
-    const Coords& coords) const -> const Unit*;
-
-// Incremental occupants vector maintenance
-void GameStateW::UpdateOccupant(
-    UnitId unitId,
-    const Coords& oldCoords, 
-    const Coords& newCoords);
-```
-
-## Conclusion
-
-The occupants vector optimization successfully converted 12 high-frequency Occupant() calls to O(1) lookups while
-maintaining correctness through automatic copying and incremental updates. The remaining 15+ unconverted calls are
-primarily in architectural layers (command factories, utilities) that would require broader refactoring to convert. The
-performance improvement achieved represents a solid foundation that could be extended with future architectural
-modernization.

-# Performance Fix: PreCachedAPDs Constructor Overhead
-
-## Problem
-Profiling shows that 18.5% of AI processing time is spent in the PreCachedAPDs constructor, with another 9.5% in ActionPointDistances destructor and 6.5% in BattalionType destructor.
-
-The issue is that `PreCachedAPDs` is being constructed inside `AttackerUnitsScore()`, which is called from `AttackerScoreForState()`. Since `AttackerScoreForState()` is called very frequently during AI evaluation, this creates and destroys the cache repeatedly.
-
-## Root Cause
-```cpp
-auto AttackerUnitsScore(...) -> ScoreValue {
-    // This line creates a new PreCachedAPDs every time!
-    PreCachedAPDs cachedAPDs(gameState, settings, apdCache, mapId);
-    // ... rest of function
-}
-```
-
-The PreCachedAPDs constructor:
- Creates arrays of shared_ptr objects
- Calls apdCache->Get() for every battalion type (potentially 40+ types)
- Creates battalion type shared pointers
- All of this is destroyed when the function exits
-
-## Solution - IMPLEMENTED (Updated)
-
-### Implemented: Smart Thread-Local PreCachedAPDs with Parameter Validation
-Initial optimization moved bottleneck from constructor/destructor (34% time) to Update() method (31.7% time), revealing shared_ptr reference counting as the real culprit. Updated to smart caching that only updates when parameters actually change:
-
-```cpp
-// Smart cached ActionPointDistances that avoids repeated shared_ptr operations
-struct PreCachedAPDs {
-    // ... arrays same as before ...
-    
-    // Cache validation - only update if parameters changed
-    MapId cachedMapId;
-    ActionPoints cachedBraveWaterCost;
-    bool isValid = false;
-    
-    // Smart update method that only updates when parameters change
-    void UpdateIfNeeded(const GameState *gameState,
-                        const SettingsGetter &settings,
-                        const APDCache &apdCache,
-                        const MapId &mapId) {
-        ActionPoints braveWaterCost = settings.Backing().brave_water_action_point_cost();
-        
-        // Check if we need to update (parameters changed)
-        if (isValid && cachedMapId == mapId && cachedBraveWaterCost == braveWaterCost) {
-            return;  // Cache is still valid, no update needed
-        }
-        
-        // Only update when parameters actually change
-        // ... update implementation ...
-    }
-};
-
-// In AttackerUnitsScore:
-auto AttackerUnitsScore(...) -> ScoreValue {
-    // Use thread-local PreCachedAPDs with smart caching to avoid repeated shared_ptr operations
-    thread_local PreCachedAPDs cachedAPDs;
-    cachedAPDs.UpdateIfNeeded(gameState, settings, apdCache, mapId);
-    // ... rest of function uses cachedAPDs ...
-}
-```
-
-**Benefits of this approach:**
- Zero allocation/deallocation overhead after first call per thread
- **Zero shared_ptr reference counting overhead when parameters haven't changed**
- Only performs expensive APD cache lookups when map or settings actually change
- Thread-safe (each thread has its own instance)
- Minimal code changes required
- No memory management complexity
-
-**Performance Analysis:**
- Initial issue: 18.5% in constructor, 9.5% in destructor, 6.5% in BattalionType destructor (34% total)
- First optimization: Moved to 31.7% in Update() method (shared_ptr overhead)
- Smart caching: Should eliminate most/all Update() calls when parameters are unchanged
-
-### Alternative Options (Not Implemented)
-
-#### Option 1: AIScoreCalculator Class Member
-Make PreCachedAPDs a member of AIScoreCalculator that's initialized once.
-
-#### Option 2: Pass PreCachedAPDs as Parameter  
-Move PreCachedAPDs creation up to the AI main loop and pass it down.
-
-#### Option 3: Map-Based Thread-Local Cache
-Use thread-local map for per-map caching (more complex, less benefit than simple reuse).
-
-## Expected Performance Improvement
- Eliminate 18.5% time spent in PreCachedAPDs constructor
- Reduce 9.5% time in ActionPointDistances destructor
- Reduce 6.5% time in BattalionType destructor
- **Total potential improvement: ~34% reduction in AI processing time**
-
-## Implementation Steps - COMPLETED
-1. ✅ Modified PreCachedAPDs struct to add default constructor and Update() method
-2. ✅ Changed AttackerUnitsScore to use thread_local PreCachedAPDs with Update() call
-3. ✅ Maintained backward compatibility with constructor for any other uses
-4. ✅ Added proper cleanup of braving array elements when not needed
-
-## Status: COMPLETED - ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED
-
-### Final Solution: Thread-Local Caching in APDCache
-After implementing the initial PreCachedAPDs optimization, we discovered that ActionPointDistancesCache already had thread-local caching infrastructure and the FullCacheKey was designed exactly for this purpose. We implemented a proper architectural solution:
-
-**✅ COMPLETED:**
-1. **Enhanced APDCache with thread-local caching** - leveraged existing FullCacheKey infrastructure
-2. **Removed PreCachedAPDs struct** - no longer needed, APDCache handles optimization internally
-3. **Removed apdByBattType local caching** from AIAttackGroups.cpp
-4. **Automatic optimization for 12+ call sites** throughout AI system
-5. **All AI tests passing** - no functional regressions
-
-### Architectural Benefits Achieved
- **Single responsibility**: APDCache handles its own optimization
- **Zero code changes required** for existing APDCache::Get() callers  
- **Eliminates code duplication**: No more scattered caching patterns
- **Uses existing infrastructure**: Leverages FullCacheKey design that was already there
- **Clean abstraction**: Consumers just call Get(), caching is transparent
- **Thread-safe** with per-thread cache isolation
-
-### Hybrid API Implementation - COMPLETED
-**✅ COMPLETED: Phase 2 - Raw Pointer API for Zero Overhead**
-
-Added GetRaw() method alongside existing Get() method for incremental migration:
- **CacheEntry struct** stores both shared_ptr and raw pointer
- **GetRaw()** returns `const ActionPointDistances*` for zero overhead access
- **Existing Get() calls unchanged** - maintains full backward compatibility  
- **Thread-local cache** manages lifetime through shared_ptr ownership
- **Ready for incremental migration** - can update call sites one by one
-
-```cpp
-// Zero overhead access (new API)
-const auto* apd = apdCache->GetRaw(map, mapId, battType, false);
-
-// Backward compatible access (existing API)  
-const auto& apd = apdCache->Get(map, mapId, battType, false);
-```
-
-### Performance Impact
- **Automatic optimization applied to 10+ call sites** that previously had no caching
- **Eliminates repeated shared_ptr operations** across all APDCache users
- **Zero overhead raw pointer access** available for performance-critical paths
- **Expected: 30%+ reduction** in AI processing time from eliminating constructor/destructor overhead
- **Additional 10-20% potential** from migrating to GetRaw() to eliminate shared_ptr reference counting
- **Ready for profiling** to measure actual improvement
-
-### Files Modified
- `ActionPointDistancesCache.hpp/cpp` - Added thread-local caching + hybrid API with GetRaw()
- `AIScoreCalculator.cpp` - Removed PreCachedAPDs, uses direct APDCache calls
- `AIAttackGroups.cpp` - Removed apdByBattType local caching
- All other AI files automatically benefit with zero changes
-
-This represents a much cleaner architectural solution than the original PreCachedAPDs approach with a clear migration path.
-
-## Phase 3 COMPLETED: GetRaw() Migration
-
-### ✅ COMPLETED: Complete Migration to Zero-Overhead Access
-**All AI call sites successfully migrated from Get() to GetRaw():**
-
-**Files Migrated:**
-1. ✅ **AIScoreCalculator.cpp** - 8 call sites migrated to GetRaw()
-2. ✅ **AIAttackGroups.cpp** - 4 call sites migrated to GetRaw()  
-3. ✅ **AICommandFilter.cpp** - 2 call sites migrated to GetRaw()
-4. ✅ **AIWaterCrossingCommandChooser.cpp** - 2 call sites migrated to GetRaw()
-5. ✅ **AIWaterCrossingCalculator.cpp** - 3 call sites migrated to GetRaw()
-6. ✅ **AIDistanceDebuf.cpp** - 2 call sites migrated to GetRaw()
-
-**Supporting Infrastructure Updates:**
- ✅ **ActionPointDistances::Distance()** methods made const for safe raw pointer usage
- ✅ **21+ function signatures** updated for raw pointer compatibility across AI system
- ✅ **All AI tests passing** - zero functional regressions
-
-### Migration Results
-```cpp
-// Before: shared_ptr with reference counting overhead
-const auto& apd = apdCache->Get(map, mapId, battType, false);
-DIST_T distance = apd->Distance(start, dest);  // atomic reference counting
-
-// After: raw pointer with zero overhead  
-const auto* apd = apdCache->GetRaw(map, mapId, battType, false);
-DIST_T distance = apd->Distance(start, dest);  // zero overhead access
-```
-
-### Performance Benefits Achieved
- ✅ **Eliminated all shared_ptr reference counting** in AI hot paths
- ✅ **Reduced memory pressure** - no atomic operations in tight loops
- ✅ **Maintained thread safety** - lifetime guaranteed by thread-local cache
- ✅ **Zero overhead access** - raw pointer dereferencing only
-
-## FINAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
-
-### Total Performance Improvements Achieved
-**Original Issue:** 18.5% constructor + 9.5% destructor + 6.5% BattalionType destructor = **34% of AI processing time**
-
-**Solutions Implemented:**
-1. **✅ Phase 1**: Thread-local caching in APDCache - eliminated constructor/destructor overhead
-2. **✅ Phase 2**: Hybrid API (Get/GetRaw) - maintained compatibility while enabling zero-overhead access  
-3. **✅ Phase 3**: Complete GetRaw() migration - eliminated all shared_ptr reference counting in AI
-
-**Expected Performance Gains:**
- **30-40% reduction** in AI processing time from eliminating constructor/destructor overhead
- **Additional 10-20% improvement** from removing shared_ptr reference counting  
- **Total potential: 40-60% AI performance improvement**
-
-### Architecture Achievements
- **Single responsibility**: APDCache handles its own optimization transparently
- **Thread-safe**: Per-thread cache isolation with zero contention
- **Zero maintenance overhead**: No scattered caching patterns to maintain
- **Future-proof**: Clean migration path completed, ready for next optimizations
-
-### ✅ FINAL CLEANUP: Removed Deprecated Get() Method
-**Migration fully complete - clean API achieved:**
- ✅ **Removed Get() method** - no more accidentally using slow shared_ptr approach
- ✅ **Single API method** - GetRaw() is now the only way to access ActionPointDistances
- ✅ **All tests passing** - zero regressions after API cleanup
- ✅ **Clean codebase** - no deprecated methods or hybrid complexity
-
-### Ready for Profiling
-**The AI performance optimization is COMPLETE and ready for profiling to measure actual gains.** All bottlenecks identified in the original issue have been systematically eliminated through architectural improvements:
- Thread-local caching eliminates constructor/destructor overhead
- Raw pointer access eliminates shared_ptr reference counting
- Clean API prevents accidental use of slower approaches
-
-### Future Optimizations
-1. **Lazy initialization** - Only create APDs for battalion types actually in the game
-2. **Profile-guided optimization** - Identify remaining bottlenecks after current optimizations
-3. **Memory layout optimization** - Pack frequently accessed APD data for better cache locality

-# Eagle0 AI Scoring System: Proposed Improvements
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-This document outlines proposed improvements to the Eagle0 AI scoring system to make it more robust and strategically intelligent. The current system makes reasonable local tactical decisions but lacks strategic depth, contextual awareness, and multi-turn planning. These improvements would transform the AI from a competent but predictable opponent into a genuinely challenging strategic adversary.
-
-## Current System Weaknesses
-
-### 1. Static Unit Valuation
- Fixed multipliers (1.0x infantry, 2.0x cavalry) regardless of context
- No consideration for terrain advantages or disadvantages
- Missing unit synergy and combined arms tactics
- Undervaluation of situational effectiveness
-
-### 2. Primitive Spell Intelligence
- Hard-coded spell values that don't scale with game state
- Lightning severely undervalued (0.05 vs 38 for archery)
- Limited spell selection intelligence beyond meteor (which already has sophisticated cluster analysis)
- Poor timing for multi-turn spells like meteor preparation
-
-### 3. Lack of Strategic Planning
- Each command evaluated independently
- No multi-turn goal coordination
- Reactive rather than proactive strategy changes
- Missing opportunity cost analysis
-
-### 4. Limited Positional Understanding
- Simple distance-based scoring
- No chokepoint control evaluation
- Missing flanking and formation concepts
- Inadequate terrain advantage assessment
-
-### 5. Poor Victory Condition Integration
- Static additive scoring regardless of game phase
- No dynamic priority adjustment based on time remaining
- Weak endgame transition strategies
-
-## Proposed Improvements
-
-### Phase 1: Immediate Impact Improvements
-
-#### 1.1 Dynamic Unit Valuation System
-
-**Objective**: Replace static unit multipliers with context-aware valuation
-
-**Implementation**:
-```cpp
-class ContextualUnitEvaluator {
-public:
-    struct UnitContext {
-        TerrainType terrain;
-        bool inCastle;
-        bool hasSupport;
-        std::vector<UnitType> adjacentAllies;
-        std::vector<UnitType> nearbyEnemies;
-        int distanceToObjective;
-    };
-    
-    double CalculateContextualValue(const Unit& unit, const UnitContext& context) {
-        double baseValue = GetBaseUnitValue(unit);
-        
-        // Terrain modifiers
-        baseValue *= GetTerrainModifier(unit.type, context.terrain);
-        
-        // Castle bonuses/penalties
-        if (context.inCastle) {
-            baseValue *= GetCastleModifier(unit.type);
-        }
-        
-        // Combined arms bonuses
-        baseValue *= CalculateSynergyBonus(unit.type, context.adjacentAllies);
-        
-        // Threat assessment
-        baseValue *= AssessThreatLevel(unit, context.nearbyEnemies);
-        
-        return baseValue;
-    }
-    
-private:
-    double GetTerrainModifier(UnitType type, TerrainType terrain) {
-        switch (type) {
-            case CAVALRY:
-                return (terrain == PLAINS) ? 1.4 : 
-                       (terrain == FOREST) ? 0.8 : 1.0;
-            case LONGBOWMEN:
-                return (terrain == HILLS) ? 1.3 : 1.0;
-            // ... more terrain interactions
-        }
-    }
-    
-    double GetCastleModifier(UnitType type) {
-        switch (type) {
-            case LONGBOWMEN: return 1.4;  // Excellent in castles
-            case CAVALRY: return 0.7;     // Vulnerable in castles
-            case HEAVY_INFANTRY: return 1.2; // Good defenders
-            default: return 1.0;
-        }
-    }
-};
-```
-
-**Benefits**:
- Cavalry properly devalued when attacking fortified positions
- Longbowmen bonus for castle and hill positions
- Combined arms tactics encouraged
- Situational unit effectiveness captured
-
-#### 1.2 Intelligent Spell Scoring
-
-**Objective**: Replace static spell constants with dynamic evaluation
-
-**Implementation**:
-```cpp
-class SpellEvaluator {
-public:
-    double EvaluateLightning(const GameState& state, Coords target) {
-        // Base damage potential
-        double value = CountTargetableEnemies(state, target) * kLightningDamagePerUnit;
-        
-        // Bonus for hitting valuable targets
-        value += EvaluateTargetValue(state, target);
-        
-        // Opportunity cost (could we do something better?)
-        value -= CalculateOpportunityCost(state);
-        
-        return value;
-    }
-    
-    double EvaluateMeteor(const GameState& state, Coords target, int turnsToLand) {
-        // Predict enemy positions when meteor lands
-        auto predictedPositions = PredictEnemyPositions(state, turnsToLand);
-        
-        // Direct damage value
-        double directValue = CalculateMeteorDamage(predictedPositions, target);

-        double denialValue = CalculateAreaDenialValue(state, target, turnsToLand);
-        
-        // Movement forcing value
-        double forcingValue = CalculateMovementForcingValue(state, target);
-        
-        return directValue + denialValue + forcingValue;
-    }
-    
-    double EvaluateAOESpell(const GameState& state, Coords center, int radius) {
-        // Note: Meteor already has sophisticated cluster analysis in meteorDropRawValue()
-        // This example shows how similar logic could be applied to other potential AOE spells
-        auto targets = GetUnitsInRadius(state, center, radius);
-        
-        // Cluster bonus - more valuable against grouped enemies
-        double clusterBonus = std::min(2.0, targets.size() * 0.3);
-        
-        double totalValue = 0;
-        for (const auto& target : targets) {
-            totalValue += GetUnitValue(target) * clusterBonus;
-        }

-# Eagle0 AI Scoring System: Technical Documentation
-
-## Overview
-
-The Eagle0 AI scoring system is a sophisticated game state evaluation framework designed for the Shardok tactical combat layer. It uses a combination of immediate and lookahead scoring, handles both deterministic and non-deterministic commands, and employs different strategies for attackers and defenders.
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Main Entry Points
-
-The `AIScoreCalculator` class provides four main entry points:
-
-1. **`GuessedStateScore`** - Evaluates a game state based on the player's role (attacker/defender) and strategy
-2. **`BestCommandIndex`** - Finds the best command from available options using lookahead search
-3. **`CommandScore`** - Evaluates a specific command's score
-4. **`EvaluateCommand`** - Lower-level command evaluation returning both immediate and lookahead scores
-
-### Scoring Pipeline Flow
-
-```
-BestCommandIndex
-    ├── AICommandFilter::FilterCommands (reduce search space)
-    ├── For each filtered command:
-    │   ├── Determine command type (deterministic/non-deterministic/has odds)
-    │   ├── CalcOne (execute command with appropriate randomness)
-    │   │   ├── Create inner engine copy
-    │   │   ├── Execute command
-    │   │   ├── GuessedStateScore (immediate evaluation)
-    │   │   └── BasicLookaheadCalculator (recursive lookahead)
-    │   └── Aggregate scores based on command type
-    └── Select command with best lookahead score (tiebreak on immediate)
-```
-
-## Core Scoring Components
-
-### 1. State Evaluation (`GuessedStateScore`)
-
-The state scorer delegates to strategy-specific evaluators:
-
-**Attacker Strategies:**
- `STRATEGY_ATTACK_CASTLES` - Prioritizes capturing castle positions
- `STRATEGY_ATTACK_UNITS` - Focuses on eliminating defender units
- `STRATEGY_HOLD_CASTLES` - Maintains control of captured castles
- `STRATEGY_CROSS_RIVERS` - Special water crossing objectives
- `STRATEGY_FLEE` - Escape-focused scoring
-
-**Defender Strategies:**
- `STRATEGY_HOLD_CASTLES` - Defend critical castle positions
- `STRATEGY_SCATTER` - Spread units to avoid elimination
- `STRATEGY_FLEE` - Escape-focused scoring
-
-### 2. Unit Value Calculation (`AIUnitScoreCalculator`)
-
-Unit scores are computed using multiple factors:
-
-**Base Unit Value:**
-```cpp
-battalionValue = battalionTypeMultiplier * (0.5 + armament/100) * 
-                 (0.5 + training/100) * (0.5 + morale/100) * battalion.size
-heroValue = max(0, kHeroExistenceBuf + statsValue + professionValue + vigorValue)
-contextFreeValue = battalionValue + heroValue
-```
-
-**Battalion Type Multipliers:**
- Light Infantry: 1.0
- Heavy Infantry/Light Cavalry: 1.5
- Heavy Cavalry: 2.0
- Longbowmen: 1.25
- Undead: 0.25
-
-**Contextual Modifiers:**
- Castle bonus: `1 + kCastleMultiplierBonus * (integrity + 25) / 100`
- On fire penalty: 0.25x multiplier
- Adjacent fire: 0.99x per adjacent fire
- On ice penalty: Based on ice integrity
- VIP in danger: -200 if VIP unit < 200 size and in enemy attack range
-
-**Special Unit Considerations:**
- Undead value decreases with distance from enemies: `value / (1 + minimumDistance)`
- Defenders that attackers must kill (when not targeting castles): +200 existence bonus
- Controlled undead this round: +50 bonus
-
-### 3. Victory Condition Scoring (`AIVictoryConditionScoreCalculator`)
-
-**Critical Tile Holdings:**
- Attacker holding tile with claimable unit: 0 penalty
- Castle on fire: -200 * distance debuff to extinguishing position
- Unoccupied/held by unclaimable: -100 * distance debuff
- Defender-held: Varies based on unit value and distance
-
-**Last Player Standing:**
- -200 per surviving enemy unit * distance debuff
-
-### 4. Distance-Based Scoring
-
-The system uses sophisticated distance calculations incorporating:
- Action point distances (movement cost)
- Brave water crossing capability
- Attack location analysis (adjacent, archery, mage, engineer positions)
-
-**Distance Debuff Formula:**
-```cpp
-distanceDebuff = kMaxProximityBuf / (1 + distance / kDistanceDebufRatio)
-where kMaxProximityBuf = 1.5, kDistanceDebufRatio = 8.0
-```
-
-## Command Type Handling
-
-### Deterministic Commands
-Commands with predictable outcomes (MOVE, CONTROL, END_TURN, etc.):
- Evaluated once with average random value (0.5)
- No repeated simulations needed
-
-### Commands with Odds
-Commands with success/failure chances (SCOUT, FEAR, etc.):
- Two evaluations: success case (high roll) and failure case (low roll)
- Final score: `lerp(failureScore, successScore, successChance)`
- Success roll: `1.0 - successChance/2`
- Failure roll: `(1.0 - successChance)/2`
-
-### Non-Deterministic Commands
-Commands with variable outcomes (MELEE, ARCHERY, etc.):
- Multiple evaluations with different random seeds
- Default: `maxRepeatCount` iterations (typically 3-5)
- Random values evenly distributed: `i / (maxRepeatCount - 1)`
- Final score: average of all evaluations
-
-## Lookahead Search
-
-The system uses recursive lookahead with:
- Configurable depth (`remainingLookahead` parameter)
- Asynchronous execution for parallelization
- Early termination on END_TURN commands
- Score propagation from future states
-
-## Command Filtering
-
-`AICommandFilter` reduces search space by eliminating obviously bad moves:
-
-**Filtered Actions:**
- Meteor start when >4 hexes from enemies AND castles (attackers only)
- Fire spells not adjacent to enemies (attackers only)
- Fortify when far from objectives (attackers)
- Retreating/fleeing when winning
- Moving away from all enemies when outnumbered
- Abandoning last defender in critical castle
-
-## Key Constants and Multipliers
-
-### Unit Scoring
- `UNITS_BASE_MULTIPLIER`: 0.05
- `FLEE_UNIT_SCORE`: -10,000
- `CAPTURED_UNIT_SCORE`: -10,000
- `CAPTURED_VIP_SCORE`: -25,000
- `kHeroExistenceBuf`: 50
- `kProfessionValue`: 200
-
-### Ranged Attack Values
- `kArcheryPossibleValue`: 38
- `kMeteorDirectTargetingEnemy`: 2 per soldier
- `kMeteorSplashTargetingEnemy`: 1 per soldier
- `kLightningPossibleValue`: 0.05 per soldier
-
-### Victory Condition Values
- `MAX_DEFENDER_HELD_VALUE`: -1,200
- `UNHELD_VALUE`: 100
- `ON_FIRE_VALUE`: 200
- `SURVIVING_ENEMY_VALUE`: -200
-
-## Score Aggregation
-
-Final score calculation:
-```cpp
-score = UNITS_BASE_MULTIPLIER * roundsMultiplier * unitsTotal + victoryConditionTotal
-```
-
-Where:
- `roundsMultiplier = roundsRemaining / maxRounds`
- `unitsTotal` = sum of all unit values (attacker positive, defender negative)
- `victoryConditionTotal` = sum of victory condition scores
-
-## Performance Optimizations
-
-1. **Command Filtering**: Reduces search space by 30-70% on average
-2. **Parallel Lookahead**: Async execution of future state evaluations
-3. **Cached Distance Calculations**: ActionPointDistances and AttackLocations caching
-4. **Early Game/Late Game Differentiation**: Simplified calculations after round 18
-5. **Multithreading**: Controlled by `MULTITHREAD` compile flag
-
-## Implementation Notes
-
-### Random Number Generation
- Uses `SequenceRandomGenerator` for deterministic testing
- Multiple random seeds for non-deterministic command evaluation
- Carefully controlled randomness for consistent AI behavior
-
-### Distance Calculations
- **Action Point Distances**: Accounts for movement costs, terrain, water crossing
- **Attack Locations**: Pre-computed valid attack positions for units
- **Caching**: Expensive distance calculations are cached and reused
-
-### Strategy Selection
- Attackers use `AIAttackerStrategySelector` to choose appropriate strategy
- Defenders use `AIDefenderStrategySelector` based on game state
- Strategy affects unit valuations and objective prioritization
-
-### Score Interpretation
- **Positive scores**: Favor the evaluating player
- **Negative scores**: Favor the opponent
- **Magnitude**: Indicates confidence/importance of the evaluation
- **Relative scoring**: Only score differences matter, not absolute values
-
-This scoring system provides a robust framework for tactical AI decision-making, balancing immediate tactical gains with strategic objectives while handling the uncertainty inherent in combat outcomes.

-# Plan: Implement Thread-Local Caching in APDCache
-
-## Overview
-Move the thread-local caching optimization from scattered locations into the `ActionPointDistancesCache` class itself, using the existing `FullCacheKey` infrastructure. This will provide automatic performance benefits to all 12+ call sites throughout the AI system.
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Enhance APDCache with Thread-Local Caching
-
-#### 1.1 Modify ActionPointDistancesCache.hpp
-```cpp
-class ActionPointDistancesCache {
-private:
-    // Existing shared cache infrastructure...
-    
-    // Thread-local cache using existing FullCacheKey infrastructure
-    using TLSCache = std::unordered_map<FullCacheKey, shared_ptr<ActionPointDistances>, FullCacheKeyHash>;
-    static thread_local TLSCache tlsCache;
-    
-    // Helper to build cache key
-    static FullCacheKey MakeCacheKey(
-        const MapId& mapId,
-        const BattalionTypeSPtr& battalionType,
-        bool includeBravingWater,
-        int braveWaterActionPointCost);
-
-public:
-    // Enhanced Get method with thread-local caching
-    auto Get(
-        const HexMap* map,
-        const MapId& mapId,
-        const BattalionTypeSPtr& battalionType,
-        bool includeBravingWater,
-        int braveWaterActionPointCost = -1) -> shared_ptr<ActionPointDistances>;
-        
-    // Optional: Cache management methods
-    static void ClearThreadLocalCache();
-    static size_t GetThreadLocalCacheSize();
-};
-```
-
-#### 1.2 Modify ActionPointDistancesCache.cpp
-```cpp
-// Thread-local cache definition
-thread_local ActionPointDistancesCache::TLSCache ActionPointDistancesCache::tlsCache;
-
-auto ActionPointDistancesCache::MakeCacheKey(
-    const MapId& mapId,
-    const BattalionTypeSPtr& battalionType,
-    bool includeBravingWater,
-    int braveWaterActionPointCost) -> FullCacheKey {
-    return FullCacheKey{
-        mapId,
-        static_cast<int>(battalionType->typeId),
-        includeBravingWater,
-        braveWaterActionPointCost >= 0 ? braveWaterActionPointCost : 0
-    };
-}
-
-auto ActionPointDistancesCache::Get(
-    const HexMap* map,
-    const MapId& mapId,
-    const BattalionTypeSPtr& battalionType,
-    bool includeBravingWater,
-    int braveWaterActionPointCost) -> shared_ptr<ActionPointDistances> {
-    
-    // Create cache key
-    auto cacheKey = MakeCacheKey(mapId, battalionType, includeBravingWater, braveWaterActionPointCost);
-    
-    // Check thread-local cache first
-    auto it = tlsCache.find(cacheKey);
-    if (it != tlsCache.end()) {
-        return it->second;
-    }
-    
-    // Fall back to shared cache (existing implementation)
-    auto result = GetFromSharedCache(map, mapId, battalionType, includeBravingWater, braveWaterActionPointCost);
-    
-    // Cache in thread-local cache
-    tlsCache[cacheKey] = result;
-    
-    return result;
-}
-
-void ActionPointDistancesCache::ClearThreadLocalCache() {
-    tlsCache.clear();
-}
-
-size_t ActionPointDistancesCache::GetThreadLocalCacheSize() {
-    return tlsCache.size();
-}
-```
-
-### Phase 2: Remove Redundant Caching
-
-#### 2.1 Remove PreCachedAPDs from AIScoreCalculator.cpp
- Delete the entire `PreCachedAPDs` struct (lines ~79-150)
- Change `AttackerUnitsScore()` back to direct `apdCache->Get()` calls
- Remove thread-local variable and UpdateIfNeeded call
- Update callers to use `apdCache->Get()` directly instead of `cachedAPDs.GetRegular/GetBraving()`
-
-#### 2.2 Simplify AIAttackGroups.cpp  
- Remove the `apdByBattType` local caching map
- Change the function-local caching loop back to direct `apdCache->Get()` calls per unit
- The new APDCache thread-local caching will handle the optimization automatically
-
-### Phase 3: Testing & Validation
-
-#### 3.1 Performance Testing
- Measure AI performance before/after the change
- Verify thread-local cache hit rates using `GetThreadLocalCacheSize()`
- Confirm that 10+ call sites get automatic optimization
- Profile to ensure no regression in memory usage
-
-#### 3.2 Functional Testing  
- Run all AI tests: `bazel test //src/test/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/ai/...`
- Test multi-threaded scenarios to ensure thread safety
- Verify cache isolation between threads
-
-#### 3.3 Memory Management Testing
- Monitor thread-local cache growth over time
- Test cache clearing functionality
- Consider automatic cache size limits if needed
-
-### Phase 4: Documentation & Cleanup
-
-#### 4.1 Update Documentation
- Update `AI_PERFORMANCE_FIX_PRECACHED_APDS.md` to reflect architectural change
- Document the new APDCache caching behavior
- Add performance benchmarks
-
-#### 4.2 Code Cleanup
- Remove old performance fix documentation if no longer relevant
- Clean up any remaining direct APDCache optimization attempts
-
-## Expected Benefits
-
-### Performance
- **Automatic optimization for 12+ call sites** throughout AI system
- **Zero code changes required** for existing APDCache::Get() callers
- **Thread-safe** with per-thread cache isolation
- **Consistent caching behavior** across entire codebase
-
-### Architecture  
- **Single responsibility**: APDCache handles its own optimization
- **Eliminates code duplication**: No more scattered caching patterns
- **Uses existing infrastructure**: Leverages FullCacheKey design
- **Clean abstraction**: Consumers just call Get(), caching is transparent
-
-### Maintenance
- **Centralized optimization**: One place to tune caching behavior
- **Easier debugging**: All APD caching logic in one location  
- **Future-proof**: New APDCache callers automatically get optimization
-
-## Implementation Risks & Mitigations
-
-### Risk: Thread-Local Memory Growth
- **Mitigation**: Add cache size monitoring and optional clearing API
- **Monitoring**: Track cache sizes in performance tests
-
-### Risk: Changed Shared Cache Access Patterns
- **Mitigation**: Thorough testing of existing shared cache behavior
- **Validation**: Ensure GetFromSharedCache still works correctly
-
-### Risk: Performance Regression
- **Mitigation**: Benchmark before/after implementation
- **Rollback**: Keep optimization as optional flag initially
-
-## Implementation Order
-1. **Phase 1**: Implement enhanced APDCache (non-breaking change)
-2. **Phase 3**: Test performance and validate behavior  
-3. **Phase 2**: Remove redundant caching (breaking change for our code)
-4. **Phase 4**: Documentation and cleanup
-
-This approach ensures we can validate the APDCache enhancement before removing existing optimizations.
-
-## Current State Analysis
-
-### Already Thread-Local Caching:
-1. **AIScoreCalculator.cpp** - Our recent `PreCachedAPDs` addition
-2. **FixedActionPointDistances.cpp** - Uses thread-local for file I/O buffering (not APDCache results)
-
-### Function-Local Per-Battalion Caching:
-1. **AIAttackGroups.cpp** - Uses `apdByBattType` map for function-scoped caching
-
-### No Caching (Direct APDCache::Get calls):
- AIWaterCrossingCalculator.cpp
- AICommandFilter.cpp  
- AIDistanceDebuf.cpp
- AIVictoryConditionScoreCalculator.cpp
- AIAttackerStrategySelector.cpp
- AIDefenderStrategySelector.cpp
- AIVictoryConditionScoreCalculator.cpp
- And 5+ other files
-
-**Impact**: This optimization will automatically benefit 10+ call sites that currently do repeated APDCache::Get calls with no caching optimization.

-# True Iterative Deepening Implementation
-
-## Current Status
-
-### Phase 1: Core Implementation ✅ COMPLETED
- ✅ Updated `IterativeDeepeningAI.hpp` with new data structures
- ✅ Implemented new `IterativeSearch` function with generalized depth loop
- ✅ Added `GetCommandsSortedByPreviousDepth` helper function
- ✅ Added `SelectBestResult` helper function
- ✅ Implemented 50% budget check to prevent incomplete deep searches
- ✅ Added SET_UP phase detection and depth limiting
- ✅ Ensured depth 1 always completes regardless of time budget
- ✅ Added END_TURN detection to prevent excessive depth exploration
- ✅ Implemented command change logging for debugging
- ✅ All tests passing
-
-### Phase 2: Code Cleanup 🚧 PLANNED
-
-#### Proposed Cleanup Tasks
-
-1. **Replace Heuristic END_TURN Detection**
-   - Current: Uses score comparison heuristic to detect when lookahead hits END_TURN
-   - Proposed: Modify `AIScoreCalculator` to return explicit `performedLookahead` flag
-   - Benefits: More reliable, cleaner architecture, explicit intent
-
-2. **Refactor Return Structures**
-   - Add `bool performedLookahead` to `CommandEvaluationResult`
-   - Update `BasicLookaheadCalculator` to track and return lookahead status
-   - Thread this information through the scoring pipeline
-
-3. **Architecture Improvements**
-   - Consider extracting iterative deepening statistics into a separate class
-   - Improve separation of concerns between search algorithm and scoring
-
-4. **Performance Optimizations**
-   - Profile memory allocations in deep searches
-   - Consider pre-allocating vectors for very deep searches
-   - Investigate parallel evaluation opportunities at each depth
-
-### Key Implementation Details
-
-1. **Data Structure Changes**:
-   - Replaced `reusableDepth1Results` with `scoresByDepth` (2D vector)
-   - Added `highestDepthCompleted` to track the maximum depth achieved per command
-   
-2. **Algorithm Flow**:
-   - Starts at depth 1, evaluates ALL commands regardless of time budget
-   - For each subsequent depth, evaluates commands ordered by previous depth scores
-   - Continues until time expires, all commands at max depth are evaluated, or 50% budget is used
-   - SET_UP phase limits max depth to 2
-   - **Important**: Depth 1 always completes even if time budget is exhausted
-
-3. **Memory Efficiency**:
-   - Reuses data structures across searches to minimize allocations
-   - Dynamically resizes score vectors as needed
-
-4. **Command Change Logging**:
-   - Tracks the best command at each depth
-   - Logs when a new depth results in a different best command selection
-   - Provides detailed debug output showing old and new commands with scores
-
-## Overview
-
-This document tracks the implementation of true iterative deepening for the Shardok AI, upgrading from a hard-coded 2-depth limit to dynamic depth exploration based on available time budget. The implementation is complete and functional, with planned cleanup tasks for future improvement.
-
-## Current Implementation
-
-The current implementation:
- Evaluates ALL commands at depth 1
- Sorts commands by depth-1 scores
- Evaluates commands at depth 2 in sorted order until time expires
- Never proceeds beyond depth 2
-
-## Proposed Implementation
-
-### Core Algorithm
-
-The new algorithm will:
-1. **Depth 1**: Evaluate ALL commands (unchanged)
-2. **Depth 2+**: For each depth, attempt to evaluate all commands ordered by their scores from the previous depth
-3. **Completion check**: Only proceed to depth N+1 if all commands at depth N were evaluated
-4. **50% budget check**: Only proceed to depth N+1 if less than 50% of total time budget has been used
-5. **SET_UP phase limit**: Limit maximum depth to 2 during the SET_UP game phase
-
-### Main Loop Pseudocode
-
-```cpp
-int currentDepth = 1;
-bool isSetupPhase = (guessedState->status()->state() == GameStatus_::State_SET_UP);
-int maxDepth = isSetupPhase ? 2 : std::numeric_limits<int>::max();
-
-// Track initial budget for percentage calculations
-const auto initialBudget = timeBudget.remainingBudget;
-auto startTime = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
-
-// Track scores at each depth for each command
-std::vector<std::vector<ScoreValue>> scoresByDepth(commands.size());
-std::vector<int> highestDepthCompleted(commands.size(), 0);
-
-while (!IsTimeExpired(timeBudget) && currentDepth <= maxDepth) {
-    auto depthStartTime = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
-    
-    // Get command indices sorted by best score from previous depth
-    std::vector<size_t> sortedIndices = GetCommandsSortedByPreviousDepth(
-        currentDepth, scoresByDepth, highestDepthCompleted);
-    
-    int evaluatedCount = 0;
-    bool allEvaluated = true;
-    
-    // Try to evaluate all commands at this depth
-    for (size_t cmdIndex : sortedIndices) {
-        if (IsTimeExpired(timeBudget)) {
-            allEvaluated = false;
-            break;
-        }
-        
-        auto result = SearchCommandAtDepthWithEngine(
-            guessedEngine, settingsGetter, maxRepeatCount,
-            commands, cmdIndex, currentDepth, currentUtility, timeBudget);
-        
-        scoresByDepth[cmdIndex][currentDepth] = result.bestScore;
-        highestDepthCompleted[cmdIndex] = currentDepth;
-        evaluatedCount++;
-    }
-    
-    printf("ID AI: Depth %d - evaluated %d/%zu commands\n", 
-           currentDepth, evaluatedCount, commands.size());
-    
-    // Only proceed to next depth if we completed all commands at current depth
-    if (!allEvaluated) {
-        printf("ID AI: Stopping - time expired during depth %d\n", currentDepth);
-        break;
-    }
-    
-    // Check if we've used more than 50% of total budget
-    auto totalElapsed = std::chrono::steady_clock::now() - startTime;
-    auto totalElapsedMs = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(totalElapsed);
-    double budgetUsedPercent = (double)totalElapsedMs.count() / initialBudget.count();
-    
-    if (budgetUsedPercent > 0.5) {
-        printf("ID AI: Stopping after depth %d - used %.1f%% of time budget\n", 
-               currentDepth, budgetUsedPercent * 100);
-        break;
-    }
-    
-    currentDepth++;
-}
-
-// Select best result from highest depth achieved for each command
-SearchResult finalResult = SelectBestResult(scoresByDepth, highestDepthCompleted);
-```
-
-### Key Helper Functions
-
-#### GetCommandsSortedByPreviousDepth
-
-Sort commands by their scores at the previous depth:
-
-```cpp
-std::vector<size_t> GetCommandsSortedByPreviousDepth(
-    int currentDepth,
-    const std::vector<std::vector<ScoreValue>>& scoresByDepth,
-    const std::vector<int>& highestDepthCompleted) {
-    
-    std::vector<size_t> indices(scoresByDepth.size());
-    std::iota(indices.begin(), indices.end(), 0);
-    
-    if (currentDepth == 1) {
-        // For depth 1, return natural order
-        return indices;
-    }
-    
-    // Sort by score at previous depth
-    int prevDepth = currentDepth - 1;
-    std::sort(indices.begin(), indices.end(), 
-        [&](size_t a, size_t b) {
-            // Only consider commands that were evaluated at previous depth
-            if (highestDepthCompleted[a] >= prevDepth && 
-                highestDepthCompleted[b] >= prevDepth) {
-                return scoresByDepth[a][prevDepth] > scoresByDepth[b][prevDepth];
-            }
-            // Commands not evaluated at prev depth go to the end
-            return highestDepthCompleted[a] >= prevDepth;
-        });
-    
-    return indices;
-}
-```
-
-#### SelectBestResult
-
-Choose the best command considering the depth achieved:
-
-```cpp
-SearchResult SelectBestResult(
-    const std::vector<std::vector<ScoreValue>>& scoresByDepth,
-    const std::vector<int>& highestDepthCompleted) {
-    
-    SearchResult result;
-    result.bestScore = -std::numeric_limits<ScoreValue>::infinity();
-    
-    // Find the command with best score at its highest evaluated depth
-    for (size_t i = 0; i < scoresByDepth.size(); ++i) {
-        if (highestDepthCompleted[i] > 0) {
-            ScoreValue score = scoresByDepth[i][highestDepthCompleted[i]];
-            if (score > result.bestScore) {
-                result.bestScore = score;
-                result.bestCommandIndex = i;
-                result.depthAchieved = highestDepthCompleted[i];
-            }
-        }
-    }
-    
-    return result;
-}
-```
-
-### Data Structure Updates
-
-Replace the current separate tracking with unified structures:
-
-```cpp
-class IterativeDeepeningAI {
-    // ... existing members ...
-    
-    // New reusable storage to reduce allocations
-    mutable std::vector<std::vector<ScoreValue>> scoresByDepth;
-    mutable std::vector<int> highestDepthCompleted;
-    mutable std::vector<size_t> reusableSortedIndices;
-};
-```
-
-## Rationale for 50% Budget Check
-
-The 50% time budget check is crucial because of the exponential nature of game tree search:
- If depth N takes time T, depth N+1 typically takes B×T (where B is the branching factor)
- If we've used >50% of budget at depth N, we likely can't complete even one command at depth N+1
- Better to have complete results at depth N than incomplete results at depth N+1
-
-Example with branching factor ~40:
- Depth 1: 100ms (10% of 1000ms budget)
- Depth 2: 400ms (total 50%)
- Depth 3: Would take ~1600ms (total 210%) - don't attempt
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Adaptability**: Automatically adjusts search depth based on available time
-2. **Completeness**: Ensures all commands are evaluated at each attempted depth
-3. **Optimality**: Commands are always evaluated in order of promise from previous depth
-4. **Scalability**: Can search arbitrarily deep when time permits
-5. **Robustness**: 50% check prevents wasting time on incomplete deep searches
-
-## Implementation Notes
-
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing time budget calculations
- Add comprehensive logging to track depth progression
- Consider memory allocation optimizations for deep searches
- Test thoroughly with various time budgets and game states
-
-## Implementation Results
-
-The true iterative deepening implementation has been successfully completed. The key changes include:
-
-1. **Generalized Depth Loop**: The algorithm now supports arbitrary depths instead of being limited to depth 2
-2. **50% Budget Check**: Prevents starting a new depth if more than half the time budget is consumed
-3. **SET_UP Phase Handling**: Limits depth to 2 during game setup to avoid overthinking unit placement
-4. **Efficient Sorting**: Commands are evaluated at each depth in order of their scores from the previous depth
-5. **Memory Optimization**: Reuses data structures to minimize allocations during search
-
-The implementation maintains backward compatibility while enabling deeper searches when time permits, leading to potentially better AI decisions in complex game situations.
-
-### Critical Fixes Applied
-
-#### 1. Depth 1 Always Completes
-We ensured that depth 1 ALWAYS completes regardless of time budget by:
- Modifying the outer loop condition: `(currentDepth == 1 || !IsTimeExpired(timeBudget))`
- Modifying the inner loop condition: `if (currentDepth > 1 && IsTimeExpired(timeBudget))`
-
-This guarantees the AI always has at least a depth-1 evaluation for every command, preventing the AI from making no decision due to time constraints.
-
-#### 2. END_TURN Detection
-Added logic to prevent excessive depth exploration when the game tree terminates:
- **Root-level check**: If all commands at the current game state are END_TURN_COMMAND, stop after depth 1
- **Lookahead termination check**: If scores don't change between depth N-1 and depth N for all commands, it indicates the lookahead hit END_TURN_COMMAND and stopped recursing
-
-This prevents the AI from exploring to extreme depths (1000+) when there are no meaningful decisions to make, which can happen when there are very few commands available and the game tree quickly reaches states where only END_TURN_COMMAND is available.
-
-#### 3. Command Change Logging
-Added comprehensive logging to track when deeper search changes the AI's decision:
- After each depth, identifies the best command based on current evaluations
- Compares with the best command from the previous depth
- Logs detailed information when the best command changes, including:
-  - Both commands' indices and scores
-  - Full command debug strings for analysis
-  
-This helps understand when and why deeper search is beneficial, providing insights into the AI's decision-making process.

-# Shardok Performance Optimization Plan
-
-## Current Status
-PostActionUnchecked reduced from 45.4% to 39.3% of total runtime after shared_ptr optimizations.
-
-## ✅ Completed Optimizations
-
-### 1. APDCache Thread-Local Caching
- **Problem**: PreCachedAPDs constructor taking 18.5% of processing time
- **Solution**: Moved thread-local caching into APDCache API using existing FullCacheKey infrastructure
- **Implementation**: Hybrid API with both shared_ptr and raw pointer access, migrated 21+ call sites
- **Result**: Successfully eliminated shared_ptr overhead in AI calculations
-
-### 2. SharedPtr Reference Counting Fix  
- **Problem**: Atomic reference counting overhead in ShardokAction::Execute (28.4% of total runtime)
- **Solution**: Changed RandomGenerator parameter from `std::shared_ptr<RandomGenerator>` to `const std::shared_ptr<RandomGenerator>&`
- **Implementation**: Updated 49+ override sites across all command and action classes
- **Result**: Reduced PostActionUnchecked from 45.4% to 39.3% of runtime
-
-## ❌ Failed Attempts
-
-### 1. ToByteString() Caching
- **Problem**: Suspected expensive game state serialization calls
- **Solution**: Added hash-based caching to avoid repeated ToByteString() calls
- **Result**: No measurable performance improvement (discarded)
-
-## 📋 Next Steps (Priority Order)
-
-### 1. Optimize Occupant() with Array-based Indexing (HIGH PRIORITY)
- **Problem**: `Occupant()` function iterates through ALL units (O(n)) to find unit at specific coordinates
- **Solution**: Replace with O(1) array lookup indexed by `row * columnCount + column`
- **Implementation**: 
-  - Simple array storing UnitId (or INVALID_UNIT_ID) at each map position
-  - Update index when units move/spawn/die
-  - Use in GameStateW wrapper with lazy initialization
- **Rationale**: Clear algorithmic improvement, frequently called function
- **Expected Impact**: Unknown but potentially significant
-
-### 2. Profile Next Bottleneck (HIGH PRIORITY)
- **Goal**: After Occupant() optimization, re-profile to identify next hotspot
- **Focus**: PostActionUnchecked still 39.3% - drill deeper into remaining time consumption
- **Approach**: Look for unexpected bottlenecks like the shared_ptr reference counting we discovered
- **Rationale**: Profiling has revealed surprising performance issues
-
-### 3. Defer UpdateGameStatusAction (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
- **Problem**: Victory conditions checked after every action
- **Solution**: Batch victory condition checks to end of turn or specific triggers
- **Expected Impact**: Reduce redundant computation overhead
-
-### 4. Object Pooling (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
- **Problem**: Frequent allocation/deallocation of ActionResult and other objects
- **Solution**: Implement object pools for frequently created objects
- **Focus**: ActionResult objects, other high-frequency allocations
- **Expected Impact**: Reduce memory allocation overhead
-
-### 5. Lazy Modifier Hash Calculation (LOW PRIORITY)
- **Problem**: Hash calculations performed unnecessarily
- **Solution**: Compute hashes only when needed, cache between modifications
- **Expected Impact**: Minor optimization for specific scenarios
-
-## Key Insights
-
-1. **Profiling Reveals Surprises**: Both major optimizations (APDCache and shared_ptr) were discovered through profiling rather than intuition
-2. **Atomic Operations Are Expensive**: Shared_ptr reference counting showed up as significant assembly-level overhead
-3. **Algorithmic Improvements Matter**: O(n) → O(1) optimizations like the proposed Occupant() fix are worth pursuing
-4. **Measurement is Critical**: ToByteString() caching seemed logical but provided no benefit
-5. **Incremental Progress**: Each optimization reveals the next bottleneck, requiring continuous profiling
-
-## Implementation Notes
-
- Always profile before and after changes to measure actual impact
- Be prepared to discard optimizations that don't provide measurable benefit
- Focus on algorithmic improvements and unexpected bottlenecks revealed by profiling
- Continue systematic analysis of PostActionUnchecked hotspots

-# AI Performance Runner Implementation Plan
-
-## Overview
-
-This document outlines the implementation plan for an automated AI performance testing tool for Shardok. The tool will replicate the manual performance testing currently done through the Unity client's "Custom Battle" interface, providing reproducible and automated performance measurements.
-
-## Goals
-
-1. **Automate Performance Testing**: Eliminate the need for manual Unity client interaction
-2. **Reproducible Results**: Ensure consistent test conditions across runs
-3. **Detailed Metrics**: Capture the same metrics currently observed manually (commands evaluated at each depth)
-4. **Clean Architecture**: Maintain proper dependency boundaries (no src/test dependencies in src/main)
-
-## Directory Structure

-
-## Implementation Details
-
-### 1. Performance Metrics Structure
-
-```cpp
-struct AIPerformanceMetrics {
-    int commandNumber;
-    int depthAchieved;
-    std::map<int, int> commandsEvaluatedAtDepth;  // depth -> count
-    std::chrono::milliseconds timeUsed;
-    bool minimumDepthCompleted;
-    bool searchCompleted;
-    std::string selectedCommandType;
-};
-
-struct PerformanceTestResults {
-    std::string mapName;
-    int totalTurns;
-    std::vector<AIPerformanceMetrics> commandMetrics;
-    double averageDepth;
-    double completionRate;
-    std::chrono::milliseconds totalTime;
-};
-```
-
-### 2. Test Configuration
-
-The default configuration replicates the Unity client's "Perf" button:
-
- **Map**: "Alah" 
- **AI Player**: 6 units with professions 1-6, all battalion type 4 (Heavy Infantry)
- **Human Player**: 6 units (no specific configuration needed since AI will control)
- **Defender Toggle**: Configurable (affects starting positions)
-
-### 3. Key Components
-
-#### AIPerformanceRunner.cpp
- Main entry point with command-line argument parsing
- Test execution loop
- Results formatting and output
- Integration with ShardokEngine and IterativeDeepeningAI
-
-#### PerformanceTestGameStateBuilder.cpp
- Game state creation utilities (migrated from test code)
- Map loading helpers
- Unit placement logic
- Player setup functions
-
-### 4. Build Configuration

-### 6. Expected Output Format
-
-```
-Shardok AI Performance Test
-===========================
-Map: Alah
-Configuration: 6v6 units (AI as attacker)
-Time Budget: Dynamic (proximity-based)
-
-Turn 1:
-  Command 1: Depth 2, evaluated 140/280 commands, time: 1250ms [MoveCommand]
-  Command 2: Depth 2, evaluated ALL commands, time: 1180ms [MeleeCommand]
-  Command 3: Depth 3, evaluated 21/156 commands, time: 1300ms [ArcheryCommand]
-  Command 4: Depth 3, evaluated 78/312 commands, time: 1290ms [MoveCommand]
-  Turn Summary: Avg depth 2.5, Total time: 5020ms
-
-Overall Results:
-  Total Turns: 5
-  Average Depth Achieved: 2.4
-  Commands Completed at Target Depth: 85%
-  Total Time: 25.1s
-  Average Time per Command: 1255ms
-```
-
-### 7. Implementation Phases
-
-#### Phase 1: Basic Infrastructure
-1. Create directory structure and BUILD.bazel
-2. Implement PerformanceTestGameStateBuilder with minimal game state creation
-3. Create basic AIPerformanceRunner that can load a map and create players
-
-#### Phase 2: AI Integration
-1. Integrate IterativeDeepeningAI
-2. Implement performance metric collection
-3. Add basic output formatting
-
-#### Phase 3: Full Feature Set
-1. Add command-line argument parsing
-2. Implement multiple test configurations (Perf, Rivers, Custom)
-3. Add detailed performance metrics and analysis
-
-#### Phase 4: Polish and Documentation
-1. Create comprehensive README.md
-2. Add error handling and validation
-3. Implement baseline comparison features
-
-## Success Criteria
-
-1. **Functional**: Tool successfully runs AI turns and captures performance metrics
-2. **Accurate**: Results match manually observed performance within reasonable variance
-3. **Reproducible**: Multiple runs produce consistent results
-4. **Maintainable**: Clean code structure with no dependencies on src/test
-5. **Usable**: Clear command-line interface and helpful output
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
- JSON output format for automated analysis
- Performance regression detection
- Integration with CI/CD pipeline
- Configurable test scenarios beyond "Perf" and "Rivers"
- Multi-threaded performance testing
