 ## 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
+- **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

+```
+
+## AI Algorithm Selection
+
+Eagle0 supports two AI algorithms for tactical combat decision-making:
+
+### Iterative Deepening AI (Default)
+
+The original minimax-based AI with sophisticated randomness handling:
+
+- **Advantages**: Proven, sophisticated randomness evaluation, comprehensive lookahead
+- **Use cases**: Production builds, scenarios requiring precise evaluation
+- **Performance**: Single-threaded, thorough evaluation
+
+### Monte Carlo Tree Search AI (MCTS)
+
+Modern MCTS-based AI with multithreading support:
+
+- **Advantages**: Multithreaded, better performance on modern CPUs, anytime algorithm
+- **Use cases**: Performance testing, scenarios requiring fast decisions
+- **Performance**: Multithreaded, adaptive depth based on time budget
+
+### Switching Between Algorithms
+
+The algorithm is selected at **runtime** via the ShardokAIClient constructor:
+
+```cpp
+// Using Iterative Deepening AI (default)
+ShardokAIClient client(playerId, isDefender, hexMap, settings);
+// OR explicitly:
+ShardokAIClient client(playerId, isDefender, hexMap, settings, AIAlgorithmType::ITERATIVE_DEEPENING);
+
+// Using MCTS AI
+ShardokAIClient client(playerId, isDefender, hexMap, settings, AIAlgorithmType::MCTS);
+```
+
+```bash
+# Build the server (includes both AI algorithms)
+bazel build //src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok:shardok-server
+
+# Test both algorithms
+bazel test //src/test/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/ai:ai_iterative_deepening_test
+bazel test //src/test/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/ai:ai_mcts_test  # If available
+
+# Performance tests
+./scripts/ai_perf_test.sh  # Uses whatever algorithm the server is configured to use
+```
+
+Both implementations are compatible with all existing interfaces and produce the same `SearchResult` structure.
+
+**Note**: Both implementations are documented in `src/main/cpp/net/eagle0/shardok/ai/AI_SCORING_SYSTEM.md`, including
+recommendations for improving MCTS randomness handling.
+
+The AI algorithm selection is made at runtime when creating ShardokAIClient instances, allowing different AI strategies
+to be used for different players or game situations within the same server process.
+
 ## 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)

+### Scala Testing Patterns
+
+**Use `inside()` instead of `asInstanceOf` for type matching in tests:**
+
+Never use `asInstanceOf` in tests. Instead, use ScalaTest's `inside()` pattern for safe type matching:
+
+```scala
+// BAD - don't do this
+val changedHero = result.changedHeroes.head.asInstanceOf[ChangedHeroC]
+changedHero.heroId shouldBe 19
+
+// GOOD - use inside() pattern
+import org.scalatest.Inside.inside
+
+inside(result.changedHeroes.head) { case changedHero: ChangedHeroC =>
+  changedHero.heroId shouldBe 19
+  changedHero.vigorChange shouldBe StatDelta(17.2)
+}
+```
+
+The `inside()` pattern:
+- Provides better error messages when the type doesn't match
+- Is idiomatic ScalaTest
+- Works with pattern matching for more complex assertions
+

 - 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)

+## Troubleshooting Scala Build Errors
+
+### MissingType Errors
+
+When you see errors like:
+```
+dotty.tools.dotc.core.MissingType: Cannot resolve reference to type net.eagle0.eagle.internal.game_state.type.GameState
+```
+
+**This is NOT a Scala compiler crash.** This is a missing dependency in BUILD.bazel.
+
+**How to fix:**
+1. Identify the missing type from the error message (e.g., `game_state.GameState`)
+2. Find the Bazel target that provides this type (e.g., `//src/main/protobuf/net/eagle0/eagle/internal:game_state_scala_proto`)
+3. Add it to the `deps` of the failing target
+4. If the type appears in a public method signature, also add it to `exports` so downstream targets can see it
+
+**Common pattern:** When adding a method to a class that takes or returns a proto type, the proto dependency often needs to be added to both `deps` AND `exports`.
+
+### Bazel Clean
+
+**NEVER run `bazel clean` without asking first.** It rarely fixes actual issues and wastes significant rebuild time. The issues that seem like they need `bazel clean` are usually:
+- Missing imports in Scala code
+- Missing dependencies in BUILD.bazel
+- Missing exports for types used in public signatures

+# CommandProto Usage Analysis in shardok/ai
+
+This document analyzes all remaining usages of `CommandProto` (protocol buffer representation) in the AI code and identifies opportunities to eliminate proto conversion by using `ShardokCommand` directly.
+
+## Summary
+
+**Total CommandProto usages found:** 42 locations across 9 files
+
+**Eliminated:** 6 usages (14%) - ✅ **Phase 1 Complete**
+**Can be eliminated:** ~14 usages (33%)
+**Must keep (for now):** ~22 usages (53%)
+
+---
+
+## Files with CommandProto Usage
+
+### 1. AICommandFilter.cpp (6 usages) - ✅ **COMPLETED** (PR #4505)
+**Location:** Lines 146, 189, 252, 356, 387, 428
+
+**Original usage:**
+```cpp
+const auto cmdProto = cmd.GetCommandProto();
+if (!cmdProto.has_target()) { ... }
+const auto& targetCoords = cmdProto.target();
+if (!cmdProto.has_actor()) { ... }
+const auto unitId = cmdProto.actor().value();
+```
+
+**Replaced with:**
+```cpp
+const int targetRow = cmd.GetTargetRow();
+const int targetCol = cmd.GetTargetColumn();
+if (targetRow < 0 || targetCol < 0) {
+    throw ShardokInternalErrorException("Command missing required target");
+}
+const Coords targetCoords(targetRow, targetCol);
+
+const int actorId = cmd.GetActorUnitId();
+if (actorId < 0) {
+    throw ShardokInternalErrorException("Command missing required actor");
+}
+```
+
+**Status:** ✅ **ELIMINATED** - Replaced with direct accessors + exception handling
+**Impact:** Eliminated 6 proto conversions in hot path (command filtering)
+**Completed:** Phase 1, PR #4505
+
+---
+
+### 2. ShardokAIClient.cpp (8 usages)
+**Location:** Lines 83, 86, 87, 102, 105, 237, 261, 311, 356
+
+**Usage breakdown:**
+
+#### a) Command validation (lines 83-87)
+```cpp
+void CheckCommand(const CommandProto &realDescriptor, const CommandProto &guessedDescriptor) {
+    differencer.IgnoreField(CommandProto::descriptor()->FindFieldByNumber(
+            CommandProto::kFollowUpCommandTypesFieldNumber));
+```
+**Status:** ❌ **MUST KEEP** - Uses protobuf reflection for comparison
+**Reason:** Comparing proto messages for correctness checking requires proto API
+
+#### b) GetAvailableCommandProtos calls (lines 105, 356)
+```cpp
+const auto guessedCommands = guessedEngine.GetAvailableCommandProtos(playerId, false);
+if (const auto &availableCommands = engine.GetAvailableCommandProtos(playerId, false);
+```
+**Status:** ✅ **CAN REPLACE** - Should use `GetAvailableCommandsForAIPlayer()` instead
+**Impact:** This is a major conversion point - converts entire command list to protos
+**Priority:** HIGH (converts all commands to proto unnecessarily)
+
+#### c) Strategy selector methods (lines 102, 237, 261, 311)
+```cpp
+const vector<CommandProto> &realAvailableCommands) const -> CommandChoiceResults
+```
+**Status:** ✅ **CAN REPLACE** - Depends on fixing strategy selector signatures
+**Priority:** MEDIUM (depends on other refactors)
+
+---
+
+### 3. IterativeDeepeningAI.cpp/hpp (4 usages)
+**Location:** Lines 41, 272 (cpp), 73, 96 (hpp)
+
+**Current usage:**
+```cpp
+const std::vector<CommandProto>& commands,
+```
+
+**Status:** ✅ **CAN REPLACE** - These methods should accept `CommandListSPtr` instead
+**Impact:** Major - this is the main AI search algorithm
+**Priority:** HIGH (core AI algorithm)
+
+**Note:** IterativeDeepeningAI already receives commands as proto vectors. The conversion happens upstream at the entry point. Need to trace back to find where `GetAvailableCommandProtos` is called.
+
+---
+
+### 4. AIFleeDecisionCalculator.cpp/hpp (6 usages)
+**Location:** Lines 17, 38, 39, 62, 63 (hpp), 18, 19, 137, 138 (cpp)
+
+**Current usage:**
+```cpp
+const vector<CommandProto>& availableCommands,
+const vector<CommandProto>::const_iterator& fleeCommand,
+```
+
+**Status:** ✅ **CAN REPLACE** - Should use `CommandListSPtr` and indices instead
+**Impact:** Flee decision logic could avoid proto conversion
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+
+---
+
+### 5. AIAttackerStrategySelector.cpp/hpp (2 usages)
+**Location:** Line 30 in both files
+
+**Current usage:**
+```cpp
+const vector<CommandProto>& availableCommands) -> AIStrategy
+```
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ **PARTIALLY REPLACEABLE** - Currently doesn't use the commands parameter
+**Current implementation:**
+```cpp
+const vector<CommandProto>& /*availableCommands*/) -> AIStrategy {
+    // Parameter is commented out - not used!
+    return AIStrategy::DEFAULT;
+}
+```
+**Priority:** LOW (parameter unused, but signature should be consistent)
+
+---
+
+### 6. AICommandEvaluator.hpp (1 usage)
+**Location:** Line 27
+
+**Current usage:**
+```cpp
+using CommandProto = net::eagle0::shardok::api::CommandDescriptor;
+```
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ **CHECK USAGE** - Type alias, need to check if used
+**Priority:** LOW (just a type alias)
+
+---
+
+### 7. AIScoreCalculator.hpp (1 usage)
+**Location:** Line 24
+
+**Current usage:**
+```cpp
+using CommandProto = net::eagle0::shardok::api::CommandDescriptor;
+```
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ **CHECK USAGE** - Type alias, need to check if used
+**Priority:** LOW (just a type alias)
+
+---
+
+### 8. AIWaterCrossingCommandChooser.hpp (1 usage)
+**Location:** Line 20
+
+**Current usage:**
+```cpp
+using CommandProto = net::eagle0::shardok::api::CommandDescriptor;
+```
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ **CHECK USAGE** - Type alias, need to check if used
+**Priority:** LOW (just a type alias)
+
+---
+
+## Key Conversion Points (Entry Points)
+
+### ShardokEngine::GetAvailableCommandProtos()
+This method converts the entire command list from `CommandListSPtr` to `vector<CommandProto>`.
+
+**Current flow:**
+```
+ShardokEngine::GetAvailableCommandsForAIPlayer() → CommandListSPtr
+                ↓ (conversion)
+ShardokEngine::GetAvailableCommandProtos() → vector<CommandProto>
+                ↓
+AI algorithms (IterativeDeepeningAI, etc.)
+```
+
+**Desired flow:**
+```
+ShardokEngine::GetAvailableCommandsForAIPlayer() → CommandListSPtr
+                ↓ (no conversion!)
+AI algorithms use CommandSPtr directly
+```
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations by Priority
+
+### HIGH Priority (Performance-critical hot paths)
+
+1. **AICommandFilter.cpp (6 usages)**
+   - Replace `cmd.GetCommandProto()` with direct accessor methods
+   - Use `GetActorUnitId()`, `GetTargetRow()`, `GetTargetColumn()`
+   - Impact: Eliminates 6 proto conversions per filtered command
+
+2. **ShardokAIClient.cpp - GetAvailableCommandProtos calls**
+   - Replace calls to `GetAvailableCommandProtos()` with `GetAvailableCommandsForAIPlayer()`
+   - Impact: Eliminates conversion of entire command list
+
+3. **IterativeDeepeningAI**
+   - Change signature from `vector<CommandProto>` to `CommandListSPtr`
+   - Impact: Main AI search algorithm avoids proto conversion
+
+### MEDIUM Priority
+
+4. **AIFleeDecisionCalculator**
+   - Change to use `CommandListSPtr` and indices
+   - Impact: Flee decision logic avoids proto
+
+5. **ShardokAIClient strategy methods**
+   - Update signatures to use `CommandListSPtr`
+   - Cascades to strategy selectors
+
+### LOW Priority
+
+6. **Type aliases**
+   - Remove unused `using CommandProto` declarations
+   - Clean up imports
+
+---
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Low-hanging fruit (AICommandFilter) - ✅ **COMPLETED** (PR #4505)
+- ✅ Replaced 6 proto conversions with direct accessor calls
+- ✅ Added exception handling for missing actor/target data
+- ✅ No signature changes needed
+- ✅ Immediate performance benefit
+- **PR:** #4505
+
+### Phase 2: Entry point (ShardokAIClient)
+- Replace `GetAvailableCommandProtos()` calls with `GetAvailableCommandsForAIPlayer()`
+- Update method signatures in ShardokAIClient
+
+### Phase 3: Core AI (IterativeDeepeningAI)
+- Change IterativeDeepeningAI to accept `CommandListSPtr`
+- This is the biggest change but has highest impact
+
+### Phase 4: Supporting systems
+- Update AIFleeDecisionCalculator
+- Update strategy selectors
+- Clean up type aliases
+
+### Phase 5: Validation code
+- Keep proto-based validation as-is (uses reflection)
+- Consider if validation is still needed in production
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- **MCTS already converted**: The MCTS code path already uses `CommandListSPtr` directly
+- **Proto still needed**: For serialization/network communication (not in AI hot path)
+- **Validation**: Proto comparison in CheckCommand() should remain (uses proto reflection)
+
+---
+
+## Estimated Impact
+
+**Proto conversions eliminated:** ~20-25 per command choice
+**Performance gain:** Eliminates hundreds of allocations per AI decision
+**Code simplification:** Removes proto conversion layer from AI
+
+**Before:**
+```
+Command → Proto → AI Decision
+```
+
+**After:**
+```
+Command → AI Decision (direct)
+```

+## Current State
+
+### Completed Phases
+
+| Phase | Status | Summary |
+|-------|--------|---------|
+| Phase 1: GameStateC | **Complete** | Scala `GameState` model with 22 fields |
+| Phase 2: EngineImpl | **Complete** | Holds Scala `GameState` internally |
+| Phase 3: GameHistory | **Complete** | `stateAfter` returns Scala GameState |
+| Phase 4: ActionResultT | **Complete** | All 59 actions return `ActionResultT` |
+| Phase 5: Action Base Classes | **Complete** | All `RandomSequentialResultsAction` and `DeterministicSingleResultAction` converted to T-type base classes |
+| Phase 5b: Base Class Cleanup | **Complete** | `RandomSequentialResultsAction` and `DeterministicSingleResultAction` deleted |
+| Phase 5c: RoundPhaseAdvancer Actions | **Complete** | All actions called by RoundPhaseAdvancer accept Scala GameState |
+| Phase 5d: RoundPhaseAdvancer Itself | **Complete** | RoundPhaseAdvancer.checkForPhaseAdvancement takes Scala GameState |
+
+### Phase 5c/5d Progress (Complete)
+
+`RoundPhaseAdvancer.checkForPhaseAdvancement` now accepts Scala `GameState` and `ActionResultApplier` directly (PR #4677).
+
+| Action | PR | Status |
+|--------|-----|--------|
+| `PrisonerExchangeAction` | #4670 | ✅ Merged |
+| `PerformForcedTurnBackAction` | #4671 | ✅ Merged |
+| `PerformHeroDeparturesAction` | #4672 | ✅ Merged |
+| `RequestFreeForAllBattlesAction` | #4673 | ✅ Merged |
+| `EndPlayerCommandsPhaseAction` | #4674 | ✅ Merged |
+| `EndDiplomacyResolutionPhaseAction` | #4675 | ✅ Merged |
+| `RoundPhaseAdvancer` itself | #4677 | ✅ Merged |
+
+### EngineImpl Progress
+
+| Change | PR | Status |
+|--------|-----|--------|
+| `recursiveTransform` deleted | #4677 | ✅ Merged |
+| `recursiveTransformT` uses `RandomStateTSequencer` | #4677 | ✅ Merged |
+
+### Current Architecture
+
+**ActionResultT Production (100% Complete):**
+- All actions produce `ActionResultT`
+- Conversion to `ActionResultProto` happens via `ActionResultProtoConverter.toProto()`
+- No direct `ActionResultProto` construction outside the converter
+
+**ActionResultProto Consumption (Next Target):**
+- `ActionResultProtoApplierImpl` - applies proto results to proto GameState
+- `RoundPhaseAdvancer` - calls converter, passes protos to applier
+- `InMemoryHistory` / `PersistedHistory` - stores proto results
+- Service layer (`GameController`, `GamesManager`, etc.) - uses proto for client communication
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Migrate to ActionResultT Consumers
+
+### Objective
+
+Eliminate internal consumption of `ActionResultProto`. Everything inside the engine should work with `ActionResultT`.
+
+### Current Flow (Proto-Heavy)
+```
+Action.execute()
+    → ActionResultT
+    → ActionResultProtoConverter.toProto()
+    → ActionResultProto
+    → ActionResultProtoApplierImpl.applyActionResults()
+    → GameStateProto
+    → GameStateConverter.fromProto()
+    → GameStateC
+```
+
+### Target Flow (T-Types Throughout)
+```
+Action.execute()
+    → ActionResultT
+    → ActionResultApplier.applyActionResults()
+    → GameStateC
+
+    (Proto conversion only at boundaries)
+```
+
+### Key Files to Convert
+
+**Tier 1 - Core Applier:** ✅ **Complete**
+```
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/applier/ActionResultApplierImpl.scala
+```
+`ActionResultApplier` applies `ActionResultT` directly to Scala `GameState`. The legacy `ActionResultTApplierImpl` wraps it and converts to/from proto for callers that still need proto types.
+
+**Tier 2 - RoundPhaseAdvancer:** ✅ **Complete**
+```
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/RoundPhaseAdvancer.scala
+```
+Now accepts Scala `GameState` and `ActionResultApplier`. Only converts to proto lazily for `AvailableCommandsFactory` calls.
+
+**Tier 3 - Sequencers:**
+```
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/impl/common/RandomStateTSequencer.scala
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/impl/common/RandomStateProtoSequencer.scala
+```
+Modify `RandomStateTSequencer` to thread Scala `GameState` throughout (currently converts to proto internally). Then evaluate whether `RandomStateProtoSequencer` is still needed at all.
+
+**Current State**: `RandomStateTSequencer` accepts Scala `GameState` via its `apply()` method but internally converts to proto. All callback methods (`withRandomActionResult`, `withActionResults`, etc.) pass `GameStateProto` to callers, forcing actions that use the sequencer to work with proto types internally.
+
+**Target State**: Create a fully protoless sequencer where:
+1. `lastState` returns Scala `GameState` (not `lastStateProto`)
+2. All callback methods pass Scala `GameState` to callers
+3. Actions using the sequencer can be fully protoless
+
+**Migration Path**:
+1. Add `lastState: GameState` method alongside `lastStateProto` (non-breaking)
+2. Add parallel callback methods that pass Scala GameState (e.g., `withScalaActionResult`)
+3. Migrate actions one by one to use the new Scala-based callbacks
+4. Once all actions migrated, deprecate/remove proto-based callbacks
+5. Remove `lastStateProto` once no longer used
+
+**RandomStateSequencer Migration Progress** (PR #4679 introduced protoless `RandomStateSequencer`):
+
+| Action | Status |
+|--------|--------|
+| `TruceTurnBackPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4680) |
+| `EndHandleRiotsPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4684) |
+| `PerformVassalCommandsPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `PerformVassalDefenseDecisionsAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `EndVassalCommandsPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `PerformReconResolutionAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `NewRoundAction` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4698) |
+| `EndBattleAftermathPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4699) |
+| `EndDiplomacyResolutionPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `PerformUnaffiliatedHeroesAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `EngineImpl.recursiveTransformT` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4704) |
+| `ProtolessSequentialResultsActionWrapper` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4705) |
+| `LegacyRandomStateTSequencer` | ✅ **Deleted** (PR #4705) |
+
+**TCommandFactory Extraction** (PR #4684):
+
+To enable lightweight mocking of command creation in tests, `TCommandFactory` trait was extracted from `CommandFactory`. This allows tests to mock just the `makeTCommand` method without pulling in all 40+ command dependencies that `CommandFactory` requires.
+
+- `TCommandFactory` - lightweight trait with just `makeTCommand`
+- `CommandFactory extends TCommandFactory` - maintains backward compatibility
+- Actions accepting command factories now use `TCommandFactory` type for better testability
+
+**Tier 4 - History APIs:**
+```
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/InMemoryHistory.scala
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/PersistedHistory.scala
+```
+Change APIs to vend Scala `GameState` and `ActionResultT` instead of proto versions. `PersistedHistory` converts to proto internally for disk persistence; `InMemoryHistory` doesn't need proto at all.
+
+### ActionResultProto Consumer Inventory
+
+| File | Usage | Status |
+|------|-------|--------|
+| `ActionResultApplierImpl.scala` | Applies ActionResultT to Scala GameState | ✅ **Complete** |
+| `ActionResultTApplierImpl.scala` | Legacy wrapper - converts to/from proto | Keep until all callers migrated |
+| `RoundPhaseAdvancer.scala` | Uses Scala GameState | ✅ **Complete** |
+| `RandomStateSequencer.scala` | Threads Scala GameState | ✅ **Complete** |
+| `VigorXPApplier.scala` | Has both proto and Scala methods | Scala method exists, delete proto method when unused |
+| `PerformForcedTurnBackAction.scala` | Fully protoless | ✅ **Complete** |
+| `ResolveBattleAction.scala` | Heavy proto usage | Blocked by proto dependencies |
+| `InMemoryHistory.scala` | Stores proto results | Pending - vend Scala types |
+| `PersistedHistory.scala` | Stores proto results | Pending - vend Scala types, convert for disk |
+| `GameController.scala` | Uses proto for client communication | Keep proto (gRPC boundary) |
+
+### Remaining Proto Usage in Actions
+
+**Progress: 47 of 52 action files (90%) are fully protoless.**
+
+The following 5 actions still have proto usage:
+
+| Action | Proto Usages | Blocker | Effort |
+|--------|--------------|---------|--------|
+| `ResolveBattleAction` | 24 | Shardok interface, complex battle logic | High |
+| `PerformVassalCommandsPhaseAction` | 3 | `CommandChoiceHelpers` takes proto GameState | Medium |
+| `EndHandleRiotsPhaseAction` | 2 | `CommandChoiceHelpers` takes proto GameState | Medium |
+| `PerformVassalDefenseDecisionsAction` | 2 | `CommandChoiceHelpers` takes proto GameState | Medium |
+| `EndVassalCommandsPhaseAction` | 1 | `CommandChoiceHelpers` takes proto GameState | Medium |
+
+**Note:** `NewRoundAction` is now fully protoless after converting `ChronicleEventGenerator` to return Scala `ChronicleEvent` types directly.
+
+**Deleted Dead Code:**
+- `UnaffiliatedHeroMovedAction` - Was never called; `PerformUnaffiliatedHeroesAction.heroMovedResult` constructs `ActionResultC` directly
+- `HeroBackstoryUpdateActionGenerator.fromGameState` - Dead method that converted proto to Scala; only `apply(GameState)` is used
+
+**Note**: `PerformReconResolutionAction` and `EndBattleAftermathPhaseAction` are now fully protoless after:
+1. Migrating `FactionT.reconnedProvinces` and `ChangedFactionC.updatedReconnedProvinces` to use Scala `ProvinceView`
+2. Adding Scala overload of `ProvinceViewFilter.withdrawnFromProvinceView`
+
+### Estimated Effort (Remaining)
+
+| Component | Lines | Complexity | Blocks |
+|-----------|-------|------------|--------|
+| `CommandChoiceHelpers` to Scala | ~2000 | High | 4 vassal actions |
+| `ResolveBattleAction` refactor | ~500 | High | 1 action (complex) |
+| History API updates | ~100 | Low | - |
+| **Total Remaining** | **~2600** | | |
+
+**Completed:**
+- `ChronicleEventGenerator` converted to return Scala `ChronicleEvent` types directly
+
+### CommandChoiceHelpers Migration Status
+
+Several command selectors have already been converted to use Scala types:
+
+| File | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| `AttackCommandChooser.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses Scala `GameState`, `HeroT`, `ProvinceT` |
+| `AlmsCommandSelector.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses Scala `GameState`, `HeroT`, `ProvinceT` |
+| `FoodConsumptionUtils.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses Scala `GameState`, `ProvinceT`, `RoundPhase` |
+| `MarchSuppliesHelpers.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses `BattalionT` |
+| `CombatUnitSelector.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses `HeroT`, `BattalionT`, `BattalionType` |
+| `ExpandCommandSelector.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses Scala `GameState`, `ProvinceT`, `FactionT` |
+| `ImproveCommandSelector.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses Scala `GameState`, `ProvinceT`, `HeroT` |
+| `OrganizeCommandSelector.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses Scala `GameState`, `BattalionT`, `BattalionType` |
+| `RansomOfferHelpers.scala` | ✅ **Protoless** | Uses Scala `GameState`, `FactionT` |
+| `CommandChoiceHelpers.scala` | ❌ Proto | Main entry point, converts to Scala when calling converted selectors |
+| `ProvinceGoldSurplusCalculator.scala` | **Partial** | Has both Scala and proto overloads |
+| Other selectors | ❌ Proto | Various proto dependencies |
+
+**Pattern**: `CommandChoiceHelpers` currently uses `GameStateConverter.fromProto(gameState)` when calling already-converted selectors like `AlmsCommandSelector` and `AttackCommandChooser`. This allows incremental migration.
+
+**Next Steps**:
+1. ~~Convert `ExpandCommandSelector` to Scala types~~ ✅ Done
+2. ~~Convert `ImproveCommandSelector` to Scala types~~ ✅ Done
+3. ~~Convert `OrganizeCommandSelector` to Scala types~~ ✅ Done (PR #4812)
+4. ~~Convert `RansomOfferHelpers` to Scala types~~ ✅ Done (PR #4821)
+5. Convert remaining selectors one at a time
+6. Update `CommandChoiceHelpers` to accept Scala `GameState` once all selectors are converted
+
+### Progress Summary
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Action files fully protoless | 47 / 52 (90%) |
+| Proto usages in remaining actions | 32 total |
+| Biggest blocker | `ResolveBattleAction` (24 usages) |
+| Second biggest blocker | `CommandChoiceHelpers` (blocks 4 actions) |
+
+### Validation
+- [x] `ActionResultApplier` created and tested
+- [x] `RandomStateSequencer` threads Scala GameState throughout
+- [x] `RoundPhaseAdvancer` uses T-types internally
+- [x] `ProvinceViewFilter` has Scala overload for server-side use (PR #4752)
+- [x] `FactionT.reconnedProvinces` and `ChangedFactionC.updatedReconnedProvinces` use Scala `ProvinceView`
+- [x] `ProvinceViewFilter.withdrawnFromProvinceView` has Scala overload
+- [ ] `ProvinceViewFilter` faction-filtered views use Scala types
+- [ ] `CommandChoiceHelpers` uses Scala types
+- [ ] History APIs vend Scala types
+- [ ] No `ActionResultProtoConverter.toProto()` calls except at persistence/gRPC boundaries
+- [ ] All tests pass
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7: Clean Up Legacy Utilities
+
+### Objective
+Remove remaining direct proto imports from utility classes.
+
+### Files to Modify
+
+| File | Status |
+|------|--------|
+| `CommandChoiceHelpers.scala` | Accepts proto `GameState`; blocks full deproto of `PerformVassalCommandsPhaseAction` and `PerformVassalDefenseDecisionsAction` |
+| `LegacyProvinceUtils.scala` | Replace with `ProvinceUtils.scala` - `hasImminentRiot` added (PR #4683) |
+| `LegacyFactionUtils.scala` | Replace proto imports with `FactionT` |
+| `LegacyUnaffiliatedHeroUtils.scala` | Replace proto imports with Scala models |
+| `BattalionTypeLoader.scala` | Keep proto for file loading, convert immediately after |
+| `BeastUtils.scala` | **Complete** - now uses Scala `BeastInfo` only |
+
+### View Filters (Partially Complete)
+
+The view filter utilities now have Scala overloads for server-side use:
+
+| File | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| `ProvinceViewFilter.scala` | **Partial** | `filteredProvinceView(ProvinceT, ScalaGameState)` added (PR #4752) |
+| `ArmyFilter.scala` | **Partial** | `filterArmy(ScalaArmy, Map[BattalionId, BattalionT], Option[FactionId])` added |
+| `BattalionViewFilter.scala` | **Complete** | Uses Scala `BattalionT` throughout |
+| `GameStateViewFilter.scala` | Pending | Uses proto types throughout |
+| `GameStateViewDiffer.scala` | Pending | Works with view protos |
+
+**Unblocked Actions** (PR #4752):
+- `EndBattleAftermathPhaseAction` - can now use `filteredProvinceView(province, scalaGameState)`
+- `PerformReconResolutionAction` - can now use Scala overload
+- `GameStateFactionExtensions` - can now use `updatedReconnedProvinces` with Scala types
+
+**Remaining Work**:
+- Faction-filtered `filteredProvinceView(Province, GameState, FactionId)` still uses proto types
+- `withdrawnFromProvinceView` still uses proto types
+- These are needed for client-facing views with visibility restrictions
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8: Verify Boundaries
+
+### Objective
+Confirm protos are used correctly at boundaries — and ONLY there.
+
+### Expected Proto Usage (Keep)
+- `EagleServiceImpl.scala` - gRPC boundary
+- `InMemoryHistory.scala` / `PersistedHistory.scala` - Persistence boundary
+- `*Converter.scala` - Explicit conversion utilities
+- `*Loader.scala` - File loading utilities
+
+### Expected No Proto Usage (Verify)
+- `/library/actions/impl/` - Pure Scala models
+- `/library/util/` - Pure Scala models (except loaders)
+- `/model/state/` - Pure Scala models
+
+---
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Persistence Format**: Currently game state is persisted as proto. Should we keep proto for persistence (good for schema evolution) or switch to a different format?
+
+2. **Shardok Integration**: `ResolveBattleAction` communicates with Shardok. Should the Shardok interface use protos (external service) or Scala models?
+
+3. **View Generation**: `GameStateViewDiffer` works with view protos for client updates. Views need Scala models (`ProvinceViewT`, etc.) to allow actions like `EndBattleAftermathPhaseAction` to be fully protoless. The Scala views would be converted to proto only at the gRPC boundary when sending updates to clients.
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+### Code Quality
+- [ ] Zero proto imports in `/library/actions/` (except boundaries)
+- [ ] Zero proto imports in `/library/` utilities (except loaders)
+- [ ] `GameStateT` used throughout engine internals
+- [ ] Proto usage limited to: `EagleServiceImpl`, loaders, converters, persistence
+
+### Architecture
+- [ ] Clear separation: Scala models (internal) vs Proto (boundaries)
+- [ ] Converters as the only bridge between domains
+- [ ] No "proto creep" into business logic

+# Discord + Google OAuth Implementation Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+Replace HTTP Basic Auth with OAuth 2.0 (Discord + Google) for Eagle0. Users authenticate via system browser, receive JWT tokens, and choose their own display names.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Unity Client                                          Eagle Server
+     |                                                      |
+     |  1. Click "Login with Discord/Google"                |
+     |  ------------------------------------------------->  |
+     |     GetOAuthUrl(provider) -> auth_url + state        |
+     |                                                      |
+     |  2. Open system browser -> OAuth consent             |
+     |  3. User authenticates with provider                 |
+     |  4. Redirect to eagle0://auth/callback?code=xxx      |
+     |                                                      |
+     |  5. ExchangeCode(code, state)                        |
+     |  ------------------------------------------------->  |
+     |     Exchange code with provider                      |
+     |     Fetch user info (id, email, avatar)              |
+     |     Create/update user record                        |
+     |     Issue JWT + refresh token                        |
+     |  <-------------------------------------------------  |
+     |     (jwt, refresh_token, user_info, is_new_user)     |
+     |                                                      |
+     |  6. [If new user] SetDisplayName(name)               |
+     |  ------------------------------------------------->  |
+     |                                                      |
+     |  7. Subsequent gRPC calls                            |
+     |     Authorization: Bearer <jwt>                      |
+     |  ------------------------------------------------->  |
+```
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
+|----------|--------|-----------|
+| OAuth flow | System browser + deep link | Secure, supports password managers |
+| Code exchange | Eagle server directly | No separate auth service needed |
+| JWT signing | RS256 (asymmetric) | Future flexibility for token verification |
+| User storage | Protobuf file via Persister | Consistent with existing patterns |
+| Token expiry | 7-day access, 30-day refresh | Balance security and gaming UX |
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Proto Definitions & Infrastructure
+
+**New files:**
+- `src/main/protobuf/net/eagle0/eagle/api/auth.proto` - Auth API messages
+- `src/main/protobuf/net/eagle0/eagle/internal/user.proto` - User storage schema
+
+**Key proto messages:**
+```protobuf
+// API
+GetOAuthUrlRequest/Response     // Get OAuth URL to open in browser
+ExchangeCodeRequest/Response    // Exchange auth code for JWT
+SetDisplayNameRequest/Response  // Set user's display name
+RefreshTokenRequest/Response    // Refresh expired access token
+
+// Internal storage
+User                           // user_id, display_name, oauth_identities
+UserDatabase                   // All users + indexes for lookup
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Eagle Server Auth Services
+
+**New Scala files:**
+- `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/auth/OAuthConfig.scala` - Discord/Google config from env vars
+- `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/auth/JwtService.scala` - JWT creation/validation (RS256)
+- `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/auth/UserService.scala` - User CRUD, display name validation
+- `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/auth/OAuthService.scala` - OAuth code exchange
+- `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/AuthServiceImpl.scala` - gRPC service implementation
+
+**Modify:**
+- `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/AuthorizationInterceptor.scala`
+  - Replace Basic Auth parsing with JWT validation
+  - Skip auth for public endpoints (GetOAuthUrl, ExchangeCode, RefreshToken)
+- `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/AuthorizationUtils.scala`
+  - Change context keys from `userName` to `userId` + `displayName`
+- `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/Main.scala`
+  - Wire up new auth services and JWT key loading
+
+### Phase 3: Unity Client OAuth Flow
+
+**New C# files:**
+- `Assets/Auth/OAuthManager.cs` - OAuth flow + deep link handling
+- `Assets/Auth/TokenStorage.cs` - Secure token persistence
+- `Assets/Auth/AuthClient.cs` - gRPC client for auth service
+
+**Modify:**
+- `Assets/EagleConnection.cs`
+  - Replace `AuthInterceptor` (Basic Auth) with `JwtAuthInterceptor` (Bearer token)
+- `Assets/ConnectionHandler/ConnectionHandler.cs`
+  - Replace username/password UI with Discord/Google login buttons
+  - Add display name setup flow for new users
+
+### Phase 4: Platform Configuration
+
+**Deep link registration:**
+- iOS: Add `eagle0://` to CFBundleURLSchemes in Info.plist
+- Android: Add intent-filter for `eagle0://auth` in AndroidManifest.xml
+- Desktop: Register URL scheme (Windows registry / macOS plist)
+
+**OAuth provider setup:**
+1. Discord Developer Portal: Create app, add redirect URI `eagle0://auth/callback`
+2. Google Cloud Console: Create OAuth client, add redirect URI
+
+**Environment variables (server):**
+```
+DISCORD_CLIENT_ID
+DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET
+GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
+GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
+JWT_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH
+JWT_PUBLIC_KEY_PATH
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Testing
+
+**Unit tests:**
+- `JwtServiceSpec.scala` - Token creation/validation
+- `UserServiceSpec.scala` - Display name validation, uniqueness
+- `OAuthServiceSpec.scala` - OAuth flow with mocked providers
+
+**Integration tests:**
+- Full OAuth flow with mock provider
+- JWT validation in AuthorizationInterceptor
+- gRPC calls with valid/invalid tokens
+
+**Manual testing:**
+- [ ] Discord login (Windows, macOS)
+- [ ] Google login (Windows, macOS)
+- [ ] Deep link callback works
+- [ ] Display name validation
+- [ ] Session persistence across restarts
+- [ ] Token refresh

+| `EagleConnection.cs` | AuthInterceptor -> JwtAuthInterceptor |
+| `ConnectionHandler.cs` | Login UI -> OAuth buttons + display name |
+
+### Delete
+- nginx htpasswd configuration (no longer needed)
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **State parameter** - CSRF protection in OAuth flow
+2. **PKCE** - Consider adding for mobile (enhancement)
+3. **Secure storage** - Use Keychain (iOS) / Keystore (Android) for tokens
+4. **Token refresh** - 7-day access tokens with 30-day refresh
+5. **Rate limiting** - Limit login attempts per IP
+
+## Dependencies to Add
+
+**Scala (MODULE.bazel):**
+- JWT library (e.g., `jwt-scala` or `nimbus-jose-jwt`)
+- HTTP client (e.g., `sttp` for OAuth requests)
+
+**Unity:**
+- Deep linking is built-in (Unity 2021+)
+- No additional packages required
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+Keep Basic Auth code in a feature branch. Both auth methods can coexist during transition via feature flag if needed.

+# Scala 3 Modernization Guide
+
+## Overview
+This document outlines opportunities to modernize the Eagle0 codebase to use Scala 3 best practices and features. The migration to Scala 3 is complete, but the code still uses many Scala 2 patterns that can be improved.
+
+## Modernization Opportunities
+
+### 1. **Convert Sealed Traits to Enums** 🎯 HIGH IMPACT
+**Benefits**: Better performance, more concise syntax, improved exhaustiveness checking
+
+**Current pattern** (`ExternalTextGenerationCaller.scala:23-31`):
+```scala
+sealed trait ExternalTextGenerationError extends Error {
+  def message: String
+}
+case class ExternalTextGenerationRateLimitError(code: Int, message: String)
+    extends ExternalTextGenerationError
+case class ExternalTextGenerationHttpError(code: Int, message: String)
+    extends ExternalTextGenerationError
+case class ExternalTextGenerationTimeoutError(message: String)
+    extends ExternalTextGenerationError
+```
+
+**Scala 3 improvement**:
+```scala
+enum ExternalTextGenerationError extends Error:
+  case RateLimit(code: Int, message: String)
+  case Http(code: Int, message: String) 
+  case Timeout(message: String)
+  
+  def message: String = this match
+    case RateLimit(_, msg) => msg
+    case Http(_, msg) => msg
+    case Timeout(msg) => msg
+```
+
+**Files to check**:
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/common/llm_integration/ExternalTextGenerationCaller.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/model/action_result/generated_text_request/GeneratedTextRequestT.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/model/state/quest/concrete/QuestC.scala`
+
+### 2. **Convert Implicit Classes to Extension Methods** 🎯 HIGH IMPACT
+**Benefits**: Modern syntax, better IDE support, cleaner imports
+
+**Current pattern** (`MoreSeq.scala:23-26`):
+```scala
+implicit def SeqCollect[A, Repr[_]](coll: Repr[A])(implicit
+    itr: IsIterable[Repr[A]]
+): SeqCollect[A, Repr, itr.type] =
+  new SeqCollect[A, Repr, itr.type](coll, itr)
+```
+
+**Scala 3 improvement**:
+```scala
+extension [A, Repr[_]](coll: Repr[A])(using itr: IsIterable[Repr[A]])
+  def flatCollect[B](pf: PartialFunction[itr.A, Option[B]])(using Factory[B, Repr[B]]): Repr[B] =
+    Factory[B, Repr[B]].fromSpecific(itr(coll).collect(pf).flatten)
+    
+  def flatCollectFirst[B](pf: PartialFunction[itr.A, Option[B]]): Option[B] =
+    itr(coll).collect(pf).flatten.headOption
+```
+
+**Files to check**:
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/common/MoreSeq.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/util/command_choice_helpers/CommandChooser.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/new_game_creation/NewGameCreation.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/applier/ActionResultProtoApplierImpl.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/new_game_creation/StartGameActionResultUtils.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/model/state/date/Date.scala`
+
+### 3. **Convert Implicit Parameters to Using Clauses** 🎯 MEDIUM IMPACT
+**Benefits**: Cleaner syntax, better tooling support, clearer intent
+
+**Current pattern**:
+```scala
+def method[T](value: T)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext): Future[T]
+def process[A](items: Seq[A])(implicit ord: Ordering[A]): Seq[A]
+```
+
+**Scala 3 improvement**:
+```scala
+def method[T](value: T)(using ExecutionContext): Future[T]
+def process[A](items: Seq[A])(using Ordering[A]): Seq[A]
+```
+
+**Files to check**:
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/common/MoreSeq.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/util/hero_name_fetcher/HeroNameFetcher.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/util/ShardokMapInfo.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/common/llm_integration/OpenAIChatCompletionsServiceImpl.scala`
+- `/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/common/llm_integration/ClaudeServiceImpl.scala`
+
+### 4. **Opaque Types for Type Safety** 🎯 MEDIUM IMPACT
+**Benefits**: Zero runtime cost, compile-time type safety, prevents mixing up similar types
+
+**Pattern to look for**: Type aliases that represent distinct concepts
+```scala
+// Instead of: type UserId = String, type GameId = String
+opaque type UserId = String
+object UserId:
+  def apply(s: String): UserId = s
+  extension (id: UserId) 
+    def value: String = id
+    def isValid: Boolean = id.nonEmpty && id.length > 3
+
+opaque type GameId = Long  
+object GameId:
+  def apply(l: Long): GameId = l
+  extension (id: GameId) def value: Long = id
+```
+
+**Candidates**: Look for simple type aliases and ID types throughout the codebase.
+
+### 5. **Inline Methods for Performance** 🎯 LOW IMPACT
+**Benefits**: Compile-time optimization, better performance for hot paths
+
+**Pattern**: Mark small, frequently-called methods as `inline`
+```scala
+inline def isValidId(id: String): Boolean = 
+  id.nonEmpty && id.length > 3
+
+inline def calculateScore(base: Int, multiplier: Double): Double = 
+  base * multiplier
+```
+
+**Candidates**: Small utility methods in performance-critical paths (AI calculations, game state updates).
+
+### 6. **Union Types Instead of Complex Hierarchies** 🎯 LOW IMPACT  
+**Benefits**: Simpler type definitions for either/or scenarios
+
+**Pattern**: Simple sealed traits with only case classes
+```scala
+// Instead of:
+sealed trait Result
+case class Success(value: String) extends Result  
+case class Error(message: String) extends Result
+
+// Consider:
+type Result = Success | Error
+case class Success(value: String)
+case class Error(message: String)
+```
+
+### 7. **Context Functions for Cleaner APIs** 🎯 LOW IMPACT
+**Benefits**: Cleaner API design, implicit context passing
+
+**Pattern**: Replace implicit function parameters
+```scala
+// Old
+type Handler = GameState => Unit
+def withGameState(gs: GameState)(handler: Handler): Unit = handler(gs)
+
+// New  
+type Handler = GameState ?=> Unit
+def withGameState(gs: GameState)(handler: Handler): Unit = 
+  given GameState = gs
+  handler
+```
+
+## Implementation Priority
+
+### Phase 1: Quick Wins (High Impact, Low Risk)
+1. **Convert Extension Methods** in `MoreSeq.scala` - immediate readability improvement
+2. **Update Using Clauses** - simple find/replace operation  
+3. **Convert Simple Sealed Traits to Enums** - start with error types
+
+### Phase 2: Type Safety Improvements  
+4. **Add Opaque Types** for IDs and measurements - improves type safety
+5. **Inline Performance-Critical Methods** - measure before/after impact
+
+### Phase 3: Advanced Features (Lower Priority)
+6. **Union Types** where appropriate - only for simple either/or cases
+7. **Context Functions** for complex API improvements
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+### Style Consistency
+- **Keep curly braces**: Continue using Scala 2 style `{}` instead of indentation-based syntax
+- **Gradual adoption**: Modernize files as they're touched for other reasons
+- **Test thoroughly**: Each modernization should include verification that behavior is unchanged
+
+### Performance Considerations  
+- **Measure enum performance**: Verify that enum conversion actually improves performance in hot paths
+- **Benchmark inline methods**: Use profiling to confirm performance gains
+- **Consider compilation time**: Some features may increase compile time
+
+### Migration Strategy
+- **File-by-file approach**: Complete modernization of one file at a time
+- **Separate PRs**: Each modernization type should be its own PR for easier review
+- **Documentation**: Update this document as patterns are modernized
+
+## Success Criteria
+- [ ] All extension methods converted from implicit classes
+- [ ] All implicit parameters converted to using clauses  
+- [ ] Key sealed traits converted to enums where appropriate
+- [ ] Opaque types introduced for important ID types
+- [ ] Performance-critical methods marked as inline (with benchmarks)
+- [ ] No regression in functionality or performance
+- [ ] Code remains readable and maintainable
+
+## Notes
+- Focus on high-impact, low-risk improvements first
+- Each change should be driven by clear benefits (performance, readability, type safety)
+- Maintain backward compatibility where possible
+- Document any breaking changes clearly

+# Actions and Commands Model Usage Analysis
+
+This document analyzes all actions and commands in `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/impl` to determine which use Scala models vs protobuf models, based on BUILD.bazel dependencies.
+
+**Legend:**
+- ✅ **Scala Models Only** - Uses only `//src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/model` dependencies
+- ❌ **Uses Protobuf** - Has dependencies on `//src/main/protobuf` targets
+- 🔄 **Partial Conversion** - Conversion attempted but blocked by dependencies
+
+## Summary
+
+Based on BUILD.bazel dependency analysis (2025-09-16, updated 2025-09-17):
+- **Total Commands Analyzed:** 41
+- **Commands Fully Migrated (No Protobuf):** 41 (100%) ✅
+- **Commands Still Using Protobuf:** 0 (0%) ✅
+- **Total Actions Analyzed:** 48
+- **Actions Fully Migrated (No Protobuf):** 5 (10.4%)
+- **Actions Partially Migrated:** 19 (39.6%)
+- **Actions Still Using Protobuf:** 24 (50%)
+- **Base Classes:** 8 protoless variants available, 6 still use protobuf
+- **Shared Components:** `ResolvedEagleUnit` migrated to use `Option[BattalionT]` for proper null handling
+
+## Conversion Insights
+
+Based on conversion attempt of `ResolveTruceOfferCommand` (see [PR #4379](https://github.com/nolen777/eagle0/pull/4379)):
+
+### Key Challenges Discovered
+
+1. **LLM Integration Dependencies**: Commands that use `DiplomacyResolutionLlmRequestGenerator` face challenges because the LLM system still expects protobuf enum types, not Scala model enums.
+
+2. **Inconsistent Package Naming**: Some files have inconsistent package declarations vs BUILD file locations (e.g., `generated_text_request_generators` in package vs `llm_request_generators` in BUILD).
+
+3. **Model Constructor Differences**: Scala model constructors (e.g., `TruceOffer`) have different required parameters than their protobuf counterparts, requiring more complex data mapping.
+
+4. **Type System Complexity**: Union types and type constraints become more complex when mixing protobuf and Scala model types during transition.
+
+5. **Cascading Dependency Issues**: Converting to `ActionResultC` requires extensive trait dependencies (`ChangedBattalionT`, `ChangedHeroT`, `GeneratedTextRequestT`, etc.) that create complex BUILD dependency graphs, unlike simple protobuf `ActionResult`.
+
+6. **BUILD Complexity**: Each Scala model conversion requires significantly more BUILD dependencies than protobuf equivalents, making incremental conversion difficult.
+
+7. **Build Verification Critical**: Any conversion must maintain working build state - even simple commands like `DefendCommand` can break main server build due to dependency cascades.
+### Successful Conversion Elements
+
+- ✅ Base class conversion (`SimpleAction` → `ProtolessSimpleAction`)
+- ✅ Import updates for most Scala model types
+- ✅ BUILD.bazel dependency updates for core action result types
+- ✅ Basic type conversions for simple cases
+
+### Recommended Conversion Strategy
+
+1. **Architecture-First Approach**: Convert base infrastructure (LLM generators, action result builders) before individual commands
+2. **Wrapper Pattern**: Use existing `Protoless*ActionWrapper` classes as templates for gradual transition
+3. **Dependency Analysis**: Map full dependency trees before attempting conversions to avoid cascading build failures
+4. **Batch Conversions**: Convert related commands together to minimize dependency conflicts
+5. **Build Verification**: **ALWAYS** verify `//src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle:eagle_server` and test suite build before creating PRs
+
+### Conversion Requirements
+
+**Before creating any PR:**
+- ✅ `bazel build //src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle:eagle_server` succeeds
+- ✅ `bazel test //src/test/scala/... --keep_going` passes (or doesn't introduce new failures)
+- ✅ All BUILD dependencies are correctly specified
+- ✅ Scalafmt and other linters pass

+
+## Migration Priority Analysis
+
+Based on the BUILD.bazel dependency analysis, here are the key findings and recommendations:
+
+### 🎯 High Impact Migration Targets
+
+**Core Dependencies Blocking Multiple Commands:**
+
+1. **`action_result_scala_proto`** - Used by 12+ commands
+   - Blocks: `DefendCommand`, `FreeForAllDecisionCommand`, diplomacy resolvers
+   - Impact: Would unlock many command migrations
+
+2. **`available_command_scala_proto` / `selected_command_scala_proto`** - Used by 10+ commands
+   - Blocks: All UI-interactive commands
+   - Impact: Would enable client-server interaction model migration
+
+3. **`game_state_scala_proto`** - Used by 8+ commands
+   - Blocks: Complex state-dependent commands
+   - Impact: Core state representation migration
+
+### 📊 Migration Tiers by Complexity
+
+**Tier 1 - Quick Wins (2 commands):**
+- `ArmTroopsCommand` - Only `battalion_type` dependency
+- `TrainCommand` - Only `battalion_type` dependency
+- **Effort:** Low, **Impact:** Demonstrates battalion model usage
+
+**Tier 2 - API Layer (5 commands):**
+- Commands blocked by `available_command`/`selected_command`
+- **Effort:** Medium, **Impact:** High (enables UI interaction models)
+
+**Tier 3 - Diplomacy Suite (6 commands):**
+- All `Resolve*Command` diplomacy commands
+- **Effort:** High, **Impact:** High (complete diplomacy model migration)
+- **Strategy:** Migrate as a group after diplomacy models are ready
+
+### 🏆 Success Metrics
+
+**Current Status:**
+- ✅ **100% of commands fully migrated** (41/41) 🎉
+- ✅ **All diplomacy helpers use Scala models**
+- ✅ **All protoless base classes available**
+- ✅ **ALL command migration completed**
+
+**Completed Milestones:**
+- ✅ **70% target:** Migrate Tier 1 + some Tier 2 commands **COMPLETED**
+- ✅ **80% target:** Continue with remaining non-diplomacy commands **COMPLETED**
+- ✅ **85% target:** Complete API layer migration **COMPLETED**
+- ✅ **95% target:** Complete diplomacy migration **COMPLETED**
+- ✅ **100% target:** Migrate final remaining command (FreeForAllDecisionCommand) **COMPLETED**
+
+### 🎯 Action Migration Progress
+
+**Migration Statistics:**
+- 5/48 Actions fully migrated (10.4%)
+- 20/48 Actions using protoless base classes but with protobuf dependencies (41.7%)
+- 24/48 Actions still fully on protobuf (50%)
+
+**Successfully Migrated Actions:**
+1. **HeroBackstoryUpdateAction** - LLM integration for hero backstories
+2. **ProvinceConqueredAction** - Component-based design with prisoner handling and province conquest
+3. **ProvinceHeldAction** - Component-based design pattern (gameId, currentRoundId, specific models)
+4. **UnaffiliatedHeroAppearedAction** - Hero appearance with name generation
+5. **WithdrawnArmiesReturnHomeAction** - Army withdrawal mechanics
+
+**Recent Migration Updates (2025-09-17):**
+- **ResolvedEagleUnit** - Changed `battalion: BattalionT` to `battalion: Option[BattalionT]`
+  - Properly handles units without battalions (battalion ID -1)
+  - Updated `ShardokInterfaceGrpcClient` to check for `defaultBattalionId` and use `None`
+  - Updated `ResolveBattleAction`, `ProvinceConqueredAction`, `RequestBattlesAction`
+  - All tests updated to handle optional battalions
+
+**Key Migration Patterns:**
+- ✅ Use specific components instead of full GameState (see ProvinceHeldAction, ProvinceConqueredAction)
+- ✅ Convert protobuf models to Scala models at Action boundaries
+- ✅ Update BUILD.bazel to remove protobuf dependencies
+- ✅ Update all call sites and tests
+- ✅ Use `Option[T]` for optional fields instead of special sentinel values (e.g., battalion ID -1)
+
+**Next Migration Candidates (Simple Actions with Protoless Base):**
+1. **FreeForAllDrawAction** - Already uses ProtolessSimpleAction
+2. **FriendlyMoveAction** - Already uses ProtolessSimpleAction
+3. **ShipmentArrivedAction** - Already uses ProtolessSimpleAction
+4. **WonFreeForAllAction** - Already uses ProtolessSimpleAction
+5. **ProvinceConqueredAction** - Already uses ProtolessSimpleAction, only needs `common_unit` migration
+
+### 🔄 Conversion Strategy Updates
+
+**Revised Approach Based on Analysis:**
+
+1. **Focus on Core Dependencies First**
+   - Migrate `battalion_type` model (unlocks 2 commands immediately)
+   - Migrate `action_result` model (unlocks 12+ commands)
+   - Migrate `available_command`/`selected_command` (unlocks UI layer)
+
+2. **Leverage Existing Success**
+   - 77.5% of commands already fully migrated
+   - Use migrated commands as reference implementations
+   - Diplomacy helpers prove complex business logic can work with Scala models
+
+3. **Group Related Migrations**
+   - Military commands: `ArmTroopsCommand`, `TrainCommand`, `OrganizeTroopsCommand`
+   - UI commands: All using `available_command`/`selected_command`
+   - Diplomacy commands: All `Resolve*Command` variants
+

+
+*Updated on 2025-09-17 - Analysis based on BUILD.bazel dependencies and code review*
+*Latest update: ResolvedEagleUnit migrated to use Option[BattalionT] for proper battalion handling*

+# Scala 3 Migration: Reflection Issues Found
+
+This document catalogs all reflection-related problems discovered during the Scala 2.13.16 → Scala 3.7.2 migration of the Eagle0 codebase.
+
+## Summary
+
+The migration revealed several categories of reflection issues that needed to be addressed for Scala 3 compatibility:
+
+1. **Scala 2 Runtime Reflection API** - No longer available in Scala 3
+2. **Settings System Reflection** - Custom reflection for loading settings singletons 
+3. **json4s Automatic Case Class Extraction** - Uses reflection that fails with Scala 3 metaprogramming classes
+4. **ScalaTest Exception Handling** - Syntax changes affecting exception variable binding
+
+## 1. Scala 2 Runtime Reflection (FIXED)
+
+### Issue
+Tests using `scala.reflect.runtime.universe` fail because this reflection API doesn't exist in Scala 3.
+
+### Files Affected
+- `/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0/src/test/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/types/ActionResultTypesTest.scala`
+
+### Error
+```scala
+import scala.reflect.runtime.universe  // Not available in Scala 3
+```
+
+### Solution Applied
+**Deleted the test entirely** as it was redundant. The test was verifying that auto-generated Scala objects (created by Bazel from proto enum values) matched their source proto values - something already guaranteed by the build system. Since the objects are generated directly from the proto definitions, this test provided no value.
+
+**Files deleted:**
+- `src/test/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/types/ActionResultTypesTest.scala`
+
+## 2. Settings System Reflection (FIXED)
+
+### Issue
+Custom `SettingsLoader` class used reflection to access Scala object singletons, but the reflection pattern changed between Scala 2 and Scala 3.
+
+### Files Affected
+- `/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/settings/loaders/SettingsLoader.scala`
+
+### Error
+```
+java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: net.eagle0.eagle.library.settings.ApprehendOutlawVigorCost$.MODULE$
+```
+
+### Root Cause
+In Scala 2, singleton objects are accessed via `ClassName$.MODULE$()`, but in Scala 3, they're accessed directly via `ClassName$` field. Additionally, `scala.reflect.runtime.universe` is not available in Scala 3.
+
+### Solution Applied
+**Completely eliminated reflection** by auto-generating the entire `SettingsLoader.scala` file from BUILD.bazel definitions:
+
+1. **Created generator**: `src/main/go/net/eagle0/build/settings_loader_generator/settings_loader_generator.go` - parses BUILD.bazel and generates complete SettingsLoader.scala with pattern matching for all 272 settings
+
+2. **Added genrule**: In `src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/settings/loaders/BUILD.bazel`:
+```python
+genrule(
+    name = "settings_loader_src",
+    srcs = ["//src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/settings:BUILD.bazel"],
+    outs = ["SettingsLoader.scala"],
+    cmd = "$(location //src/main/go/net/eagle0/build/settings_loader_generator) $(location //src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/settings:BUILD.bazel) > $@",
+    tools = ["//src/main/go/net/eagle0/build/settings_loader_generator"],
+)
+```
+
+3. **Result**: SettingsLoader now uses compile-time pattern matching instead of reflection:
+```scala
+private def settingObjectForKey(key: String): Any = key match {
+  case "ActionVigorCost" => ActionVigorCost
+  case "BaseFoodBuyPrice" => BaseFoodBuyPrice
+  // ... all 272 settings auto-generated
+  case _ => throw NoSuchSettingException(key)
+}
+```
+
+### Benefits
+- **No reflection** - Completely Scala 3 compatible
+- **Maintainable** - New settings automatically included when added to BUILD.bazel
+- **Performance** - Pattern matching is faster than reflection
+- **Type-safe** - Compile-time checking of all settings
+
+## 3. json4s Reflection Issues (MULTIPLE LOCATIONS)
+
+### 3.1 EagleServiceImpl JSON Serialization (FIXED)
+
+#### Files Affected
+- `/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/EagleServiceImpl.scala`
+
+#### Error
+```
+java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/quoted/staging/package$
+```
+
+#### Root Cause
+json4s automatic case class serialization uses reflection that tries to access Scala 3 metaprogramming classes (`scala.quoted.staging.package$`) which aren't available at runtime.
+
+#### Solution Applied
+Replaced automatic json4s serialization with ScalaPB's built-in JSON support:
+
+```scala
+// Old (reflection-based):
+// implicit val formats: DefaultFormats.type = DefaultFormats
+// write(actionResultView)
+
+// New (ScalaPB JSON support):
+import scalapb.json4s.JsonFormat
+JsonFormat.toJsonString(actionResultView.toProto)
+```
+
+### 3.2 ShardokMapInfo JSON Parsing (FIXED)
+
+#### Files Affected  
+- `/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/util/ShardokMapInfo.scala` (Line 44)
+
+#### Error
+```
+java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/quoted/staging/package$
+at org.json4s.reflect.ScalaSigReader$.readConstructor(ScalaSigReader.scala:42)
+```
+
+#### Root Cause
+The line `val extracted = parsedJson.extract[List[ShardokMapInfo]]` uses json4s automatic case class extraction which relies on reflection.
+
+#### Solution Applied
+Replaced automatic extraction with manual JSON parsing:
+
+```scala
+// OLD (reflection-based):
+val extracted = parsedJson.extract[List[ShardokMapInfo]]
+
+// NEW (manual parsing, no reflection):
+val extracted = parsedJson match {
+  case JArray(items) => items.map { item =>
+    val name = (item \ "name").extract[String]
+    val castleCount = (item \ "castleCount").extract[Int] 
+    val positions = (item \ "positions").extract[Map[Int, Int]]
+    ShardokMapInfo(name, castleCount, positions)
+  }
+  case _ => throw new Exception("Expected JSON array for map info")
+}
+```
+
+#### Testing
+The fix was verified - `attack_command_chooser_test` now passes successfully.
+
+### 3.3 HeroNameFetcher JSON Parsing (FIXED)
+
+#### Files Affected
+- `/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0/src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/util/hero_name_fetcher/HeroNameFetcher.scala`
+
+#### Issue  
+Case class extraction `parsedJson.extract[ResponseBody]` uses reflection that may fail in Scala 3.
+
+#### Solution Applied
+Replaced automatic case class extraction with manual JSON parsing:
+
+```scala
+// OLD (reflection-based):
+val parsedJson = json.parse(src.getLines().mkString)
+parsedJson.extract[ResponseBody]
+
+// NEW (manual parsing, no reflection):
+parsedJson \ "names" match {
+  case JArray(nameArray) => 
+    nameArray.map { nameObj =>
+      val id = (nameObj \ "id").extract[String]
+      val name = (nameObj \ "name").extract[String]
+      NameResponse(id, name)
+    }.toVector
+  case _ => throw new Exception("Expected 'names' array in response")
+}
+```
+
+#### Testing
+The fix was verified - HeroNameFetcher now builds successfully without reflection.
+
+### 3.4 Other json4s Usage Analysis
+
+#### Files with json4s extraction:
+- **✅ SAFE**: OpenAI/Claude Services - Only extract simple types (`String`, `Int`) - no reflection
+- **✅ FIXED**: `HeroNameFetcher.scala` - Replaced `extract[ResponseBody]` with manual parsing (no reflection)
+- **⚠️ POTENTIAL ISSUES** (not currently causing failures but should be monitored):
+  - `JsonUtils.scala`: `extract[Map[String, Vector[String]]]` - complex type extraction
+  - `HexMapJsonUtils.scala`: `extract[List[JObject]]` - may be problematic
+
+#### Recommendation
+Apply the same manual parsing pattern to remaining case class extractions if they cause runtime failures during Scala 3 migration.
+
+## 4. ScalaTest Exception Handling Syntax (FIXED)
+
+### Issue
+Scala 3 changed how exception variables are bound in ScalaTest's `the[Exception] thrownBy {...}` construct.
+
+### Files Affected
+**70+ test files** across the codebase using exception testing patterns.
+
+### Error Pattern
+```
+Not found: ex
+```
+
+### Root Cause
+In Scala 2: `the[Exception] thrownBy { ... }` automatically creates an `ex` variable.
+In Scala 3: The exception variable must be explicitly bound.
+
+### Solution Applied
+Added explicit variable binding across all affected test files:
+
+```scala
+// Old Scala 2 syntax:
+the[EagleCommandException] thrownBy {
+  // test code
+}
+ex.getMessage shouldBe "expected message"
+
+// New Scala 3 syntax:
+val ex = the[EagleCommandException] thrownBy {
+  // test code  
+}
+ex.getMessage shouldBe "expected message"
+```
+
+### Script Used
+Created and ran a systematic fix script that processed 70+ files:
+
+```bash
+# Pattern to find and fix exception handling
+find . -name "*.scala" -exec sed -i '' 's/the\[\([^]]*\)\] thrownBy {/val ex = the[\1] thrownBy {/g' {} \;
+```
+
+## 5. ScalaTest Import Changes (FIXED)
+
+### Issue
+Scala 3 requires different imports for ScalaTest matchers.
+
+### Files Affected
+- `/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0/src/test/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/impl/command/DeclineQuestCommandTest.scala`
+
+### Error
+```
+value convertToAnyShouldWrapper is not a member of object org.scalatest.matchers.should.Matchers
+```
+
+### Solution Applied
+Changed from specific imports to wildcard import:
+
+```scala
+// Old:
+import org.scalatest.matchers.should.Matchers.{convertToAnyShouldWrapper, the}
+
+// New:
+import org.scalatest.matchers.should.Matchers.*
+```
+
+## 6. Mock Framework Issues (FIXED)
+
+### Issue
+ScalaMock had type inference issues with Scala 3 for classes with constructor parameters.
+
+### Files Affected
+- `/Users/dancrosby/CodingProjects/github/eagle0/src/test/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/EngineImplTest.scala`
+
+### Error
+```
+Found: Vector
+Required: Vector[net.eagle0.eagle.library.util.hero_generator.hero_with_name.HeroWithName]
+```
+
+### Root Cause
+Mock framework couldn't properly infer types for `mock[HeroGenerator]` where `HeroGenerator` has constructor parameters.
+
+### Solution Applied
+The user updated to a newer ScalaMock version that fixed this issue, plus added some missing Bazel dependencies:
+
+```scala
+// Also needed to add missing dependency:
+"//src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/shardok_interface:battle_resolution"
+```
+
+## Migration Status
+
+### ✅ COMPLETED
+- [x] Scala 2 runtime reflection removal
+- [x] Settings system reflection compatibility  
+- [x] EagleServiceImpl json4s → ScalaPB JSON
+- [x] ScalaTest exception handling syntax (70+ files)
+- [x] ScalaTest import changes
+- [x] Mock framework issues (via ScalaMock update)
+- [x] All test compilation issues resolved
+
+### ⚠️ REMAINING
+- [ ] **Potential json4s case class extractions** - May cause runtime failures (JsonUtils, HexMapJsonUtils) - currently no test failures reported
+
+### 📊 PROGRESS
+- **Tests passing**: All identified runtime failures resolved
+- **Build failures**: 0 (all tests now compile)
+- **Runtime failures**: 0 (critical ShardokMapInfo issue resolved)
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **✅ COMPLETED**: ShardokMapInfo json4s reflection issue resolved with manual parsing
+2. **Monitor remaining json4s usage**: Watch for runtime failures in HeroNameFetcher, JsonUtils, and HexMapJsonUtils during full Scala 3 migration
+3. **Consider ScalaPB for new JSON needs**: For new functionality, prefer ScalaPB's JSON support to avoid reflection entirely
+4. **Apply manual parsing pattern**: If other json4s case class extractions cause runtime failures, use the same manual parsing approach demonstrated in ShardokMapInfo
+
+## Key Learnings
+
+- **Scala 3 reflection changes**: Major differences in singleton object access patterns
+- **json4s compatibility**: Automatic case class extraction doesn't work well with Scala 3 metaprogramming
+- **ScalaPB advantage**: Using ScalaPB's JSON support avoids reflection issues entirely
+- **Systematic approach**: Many issues followed patterns that could be fixed with scripts across multiple files

+You are summarizing changes for a weekly engineering update email.
+
+Read the following list of merged PRs and create a concise synopsis grouped by theme/feature/area of the codebase.
+
+Structure:
+1. <h1> title (e.g., "Eagle0 Weekly Update")
+2. <h2>BLUF</h2> (Bottom Line Up Front) - A short prose paragraph (2-4 sentences) highlighting the 1-3 most important changes this week and what to look for when testing. This should be conversational and help readers quickly understand what matters most.
+3. Synopsis sections (<h2> headings with bullet point summaries)
+4. <hr> divider
+5. <h2>PR Details</h2> with the same groupings, but smaller (<h3> headings) and listing PR links
+   - Format each PR as: <a href="${repo_url}/pull/NUMBER">#NUMBER</a>: Title
+
+Guidelines for the SYNOPSIS sections:
+- Group related changes together under clear headings (use <h2> tags)
+- Use bullet points (<ul><li>) for individual changes
+- Highlight any significant new features, breaking changes, or important fixes
+- Keep the tone professional but accessible
+- Don't include PR numbers in the synopsis - focus on what changed and why it matters
+
+IMPORTANT: Output valid HTML that can be used directly in an email body. Do NOT wrap in \`\`\`html code blocks - just output the raw HTML.
+
+Here are the merged PRs:

+# MCTS (Monte Carlo Tree Search) Framework
+
+This directory contains a game-agnostic Monte Carlo Tree Search implementation that can be used with any turn-based game. The framework separates the MCTS algorithm from game-specific logic through abstract interfaces.
+
+## Core Abstract Classes
+
+### `MCTSAction` (abstract/MCTSAction.hpp)
+Abstract interface for representing game actions/moves.
+
+**Key Methods:**
+- `getIndex()` - Returns the action's unique identifier
+- `getDescription()` - Human-readable description for debugging/logging
+- `clone()` - Creates a deep copy of the action
+- `equals()` - Compares actions for equality
+
+### `MCTSGameState` (abstract/MCTSGameState.hpp)
+Abstract interface for representing game states.
+
+**Key Methods:**
+- `hash()` - Returns a hash for transposition table lookups
+- `score(playerId)` - Evaluates the state's value for a given player
+- `currentPlayerId()` - Returns whose turn it is
+- `isTerminal()` - Checks if the game has ended
+- `getWinner()` - Returns the winning player (if terminal)
+- `clone()` - Creates a deep copy of the state
+- `equals()` - Compares states for equality
+
+### `MCTSGameEngine` (abstract/MCTSGameEngine.hpp)
+Abstract interface for game rule enforcement and state transitions. Many methods have efficient default implementations.
+
+**Must Override (Pure Virtual):**
+- `applyAction(state, action)` - Applies an action to create a new state
+- `getLegalActions(state)` - Returns all valid moves from a state
+- `isTerminal(state)` - Checks if a state is game-ending
+- `evaluateState(state, playerId)` - Scores a state for a player
+
+**Optional Overrides (Have Default Implementations):**
+- `applyActionMutable(state, action)` - Apply action in-place for efficiency (default: calls applyAction)
+- `filterActions(actions, state)` - Applies heuristic filtering (default: no filtering)
+- `simulateRandomPlayout(state, playerId, maxDepth, policy)` - Runs simulation (default: efficient mutable implementation)
+- `getActionScore(state, action, playerId)` - Scores an action (default: apply and evaluate)
+- `shouldStopSearch(state, iterations, startTime)` - Early termination (default: no early stop)
+
+**Performance Features:**
+- The default `simulateRandomPlayout` clones the state once and mutates it throughout simulation for efficiency
+- Games can override `applyActionMutable` to provide even more efficient in-place updates
+- Games can override `simulateRandomPlayout` for custom optimizations (e.g., using internal engine state)
+
+## MCTS Algorithm Implementation
+
+### `AbstractMCTSAI` (abstract/AbstractMCTSAI.hpp)
+The main MCTS algorithm implementation that works with any game implementing the abstract interfaces.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Selection**: Uses UCB1 (Upper Confidence Bound) for node selection
+- **Expansion**: Adds new nodes to the search tree
+- **Simulation**: Runs random playouts to estimate node values
+- **Backpropagation**: Updates node statistics with simulation results
+- **Multithreading**: Supports parallel MCTS with configurable thread count
+- **Path Compression**: Optimizes move sequences for better performance
+
+**Configuration Options:**
+- `explorationConstant` - UCB1 exploration parameter (default: √2)
+- `maxSimulationDepth` - Maximum depth for random playouts
+- `maxTreeDepth` - Maximum tree depth to prevent stack overflow
+- `useMultithreading` - Enable parallel search
+- `numThreads` - Number of worker threads
+- `simulationPolicy` - Strategy for action selection during simulation
+
+### `MCTSNode` (abstract/MCTSNode.hpp)
+Represents nodes in the MCTS search tree.
+
+**Core Data:**
+- `action` - The action that led to this node
+- `actionIndex` - Index in the original actions array
+- `gameState` - The game state at this node
+- `visitCount` - Number of times this node was visited
+- `totalReward` - Sum of simulation rewards
+- `averageReward` - Average reward (totalReward / visitCount)
+- `children` - Child nodes in the search tree
+- `parent` - Parent node reference
+
+**Key Methods:**
+- `CanExpand()` - Checks if node has untried actions
+- `GetBestChild(explorationConstant)` - UCB1-based child selection
+- `GetBestFinalChild()` - Most-visited child (for final move selection)
+- `CalculateUCB1(explorationConstant)` - Computes UCB1 value
+
+## Simulation Policies
+
+The framework supports multiple strategies for action selection during random playouts:
+
+- **RANDOM** - Uniform random selection
+- **FILTERED_RANDOM** - Random selection from filtered action set
+- **BEST_IMMEDIATE** - Always choose the highest-scoring immediate action
+- **WEIGHTED_BEST_IMMEDIATE** - Weighted random selection based on action scores
+
+## Type Definitions
+
+### `MCTSTypes` (abstract/MCTSTypes.hpp)
+- `MCTSPlayerId` - Player identifier type (int)
+- `MCTSSimulationPolicy` - Enumeration of simulation strategies
+- `MCTSConfig` - Configuration structure for MCTS parameters
+
+## Usage Pattern
+
+To use this framework with your game:
+
+1. **Implement the abstract interfaces** for your game:
+   ```cpp
+   class MyGameAction : public MCTSAction { /* ... */ };
+   class MyGameState : public MCTSGameState { /* ... */ };
+   class MyGameEngine : public MCTSGameEngine { /* ... */ };
+   ```
+
+2. **Create and configure the AI**:
+   ```cpp
+   MCTSConfig config;
+   config.explorationConstant = 1.414;
+   config.maxSimulationDepth = 100;
+   AbstractMCTSAI ai(playerId, config);
+   ```
+
+3. **Run the search**:
+   ```cpp
+   auto actions = engine.getLegalActions(currentState);
+   auto result = ai.Search(engine, currentState, actions, timeLimit);
+   auto bestAction = actions[result.bestActionIndex];
+   ```
+
+## Testing
+
+The framework includes comprehensive tests using a Tic-Tac-Toe implementation:
+- `MockTicTacToe.hpp` - Example implementation of all abstract interfaces
+- `AbstractMCTSAI_test.cpp` - Unit tests for the core algorithm
+- `MCTSIntegration_test.cpp` - Integration tests with complete games
+- `MCTSNode_test.cpp` - Tests for the node data structure
+
+This demonstrates how to implement the interfaces and validates that the MCTS algorithm works correctly with any turn-based game.

+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.
+
+## AIScoreCalculator Function Reference
+
+### Public Interface Functions
+
+#### `GuessedStateScore`
+**Purpose**: Evaluates the score of a game state from the perspective of the current AI strategy without performing any commands.
+
+**Parameters**:
+- `isDefender`: Whether the AI is playing as defender
+- `state`: Current game state to evaluate
+- `aiStrategy`: Strategy being used (attack castles, hold castles, scatter, etc.)
+- `allCastleCoords`: Set of all castle coordinates on the map
+- `settingsGetter`: Game configuration and rules
+- `apdCache`: Cached action point distances for movement calculations
+- `alCache`: Cached attack locations for combat calculations
+
+**Returns**: Score value representing how favorable the state is for the evaluating player (positive = good, negative = bad)
+
+#### `CommandScore`
+**Purpose**: Evaluates the score for a specific command using lookahead search to consider future consequences.
+
+**Parameters**:
+- `pid`: Player ID executing the command
+- `isDefender`: Whether the player is a defender
+- `remainingLookahead`: Depth of recursive search remaining
+- `maxRepeatCount`: Number of random simulations for non-deterministic commands
+- `guessedEngine`: Current game engine state
+- `attackerStrategy`: Strategy being used by attackers
+- `currentUtility`: Current game state score before command execution
+- `settingsGetter`: Game configuration
+- `allCastleCoords`: Castle locations
+- `apdCache` & `alCache`: Cached distance/attack calculations
+- `commandIndex`: Index of command to evaluate
+- `deadline`: Time limit for computation
+
+**Returns**: Future containing the final score after lookahead evaluation
+
+### Internal Core Functions
+
+#### `BuildDecisionTree` (NEW)
+**Purpose**: Builds a complete decision tree containing all evaluated command paths up to the specified depth.
+
+**Process**:
+1. Filters commands using `AICommandFilter` to reduce search space
+2. For each command, calls `ExecuteCommandForTree` to build complete subtrees
+3. Returns full tree with all possible moves and their consequences
+4. Identifies best command within the complete tree structure
+
+**Returns**: `std::future<CommandDecisionTree>` containing the complete decision tree
+
+#### `BestCommandIndex` (Legacy - Wrapper)
+**Purpose**: Backward compatibility wrapper that uses `BuildDecisionTree` but returns traditional `IndexAndScore`.
+
+**Process**:
+1. Calls `BuildDecisionTree` to get complete tree
+2. Extracts best command information for compatibility
+3. Returns only the optimal command details in legacy format
+
+#### `ExecuteCommandForTree` (NEW)
+**Purpose**: Executes a command and creates a tree node with the resulting game state and scores.
+
+**Process**:
+1. Creates engine copy and executes the command with given random seed
+2. Creates `CommandTreeNode` with command results and game state
+3. Calculates immediate score using `GuessedStateScore`
+4. Calls `RecursiveTreeBuilder` to populate child nodes if depth allows
+5. Calculates lookahead score from children (or uses immediate score)
+
+**Returns**: `std::unique_ptr<CommandTreeNode>` containing the command execution results and subtree
+
+#### `RecursiveTreeBuilder` (NEW)
+**Purpose**: Recursively populates child nodes of a tree node by building subtrees for subsequent moves.
+
+**Process**:
+1. Gets available commands for the next player
+2. Filters commands to reduce search space
+3. For each command, calls `ExecuteCommandForTree` to create child nodes
+4. Handles different command types (deterministic, odds-based, random)
+5. Populates the parent node's children vector with complete subtrees
+
+#### `CalcOne` (Legacy)
+**Purpose**: Executes a single command simulation with specified randomness and returns both immediate and lookahead scores.
+
+**Process**:
+1. Creates engine copy and executes the command with given random seed
+2. Calculates immediate score using `GuessedStateScore`
+3. Initiates recursive lookahead calculation if depth remains
+4. Handles timeouts gracefully by returning default scores
+
+#### `EvaluateCommand`
+**Purpose**: Lower-level command evaluation that handles different command types appropriately.
+
+**Command Type Handling**:
+- **Deterministic**: Single evaluation with average randomness (0.5)
+- **Odds-based**: Two evaluations (success/failure) weighted by success probability
+- **Non-deterministic**: Multiple evaluations with distributed random values, averaged
+
+#### `BasicLookaheadCalculator`
+**Purpose**: Recursive lookahead search that finds the best future command sequence and propagates scores backward.
+
+**Features**:
+- Uses transposition table to cache previously computed positions
+- Handles depth limits and terminal states
+- Returns futures for asynchronous computation
+- Stores results in transposition table for reuse
+
+### Strategy-Specific Scoring Functions
+
+#### `AttackerScoreForState`
+**Purpose**: Calculates state score from attacker perspective based on strategy type.
+
+**Strategy Support**:
+- `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
+
+#### `DefenderScoreForState`
+**Purpose**: Calculates state score from defender perspective.
+
+**Strategy Support**:
+- `STRATEGY_HOLD_CASTLES`: Defend critical castle positions
+- `STRATEGY_SCATTER`: Spread units to avoid elimination
+- `STRATEGY_FLEE`: Escape-focused scoring
+
+#### `AttackerUnitsScore`
+**Purpose**: Core unit valuation function that calculates total value of all units on the board with contextual modifiers.
+
+**Features**:
+- Uses `UnitValue` for individual unit calculations
+- Applies distance multipliers based on proximity to objectives
+- Handles special cases like undead, VIP units, and scattered defenders
+- Incorporates castle bonuses and environmental penalties
+
+### Specialized Strategy Functions
+
+#### `DefenderScatterStrategyScoreForState`
+**Purpose**: Implements scatter strategy scoring that rewards defensive units for staying far from enemies and friendlies.
+
+#### `DefenderHoldCastlesStrategyScoreForState`
+**Purpose**: Implements castle defense strategy with victory condition scoring.
+
+#### `FleeStrategyScoreForState`
+**Purpose**: Implements flee strategy that heavily penalizes remaining on the battlefield.
+
+### Utility Functions
+
+#### `AttackerMultiplierForTargetDistance`
+**Purpose**: Calculates distance-based scoring multipliers for attackers based on proximity to priority targets.
+
+**Features**:
+- Uses recursive priority list evaluation
+- Accounts for occupied vs. unoccupied targets
+- Incorporates brave water crossing capabilities
+- Uses cached action point distances for efficiency
+
+#### `CommandSorter`
+**Purpose**: Comparison function for ranking commands by lookahead score (primary) and immediate score (tiebreaker).
+
+#### `IsDeterministic`
+**Purpose**: Determines if a command type has predictable outcomes or requires random simulation.
+
+### Performance and Caching
+
+#### `EffectiveDistanceCache`
+**Purpose**: Memoization cache for expensive distance calculations between units and targets.
+
+#### `AttackerScorePerformanceLogger`
+**Purpose**: Performance monitoring system that tracks call frequency and timing for `AttackerScoreForState`.
+
+The function architecture supports parallel evaluation, caching, and recursive lookahead while maintaining separation between strategy-specific logic and core evaluation mechanics.

+**Purpose**: Represents a single command execution and its consequences in the decision tree.
+
+**Key Fields**:
+- `commandIndex`: Index of the command in the original command list
+- `commandType`: Type of command (MOVE, MELEE, END_TURN, etc.)
+- `immediateScore`: Score of the game state immediately after this command
+- `lookaheadScore`: Best achievable score considering future moves
+- `resultingGameState`: Game state after command execution
+- `children`: Vector of child nodes representing subsequent possible moves
+- `playerId`, `depth`, `isDefender`: Metadata about the command context
+
+**Features**:
+- Stores complete game state for each decision point
+- Maintains parent-child relationships for tree traversal
+- Supports both immediate and lookahead scoring
+- Contains metadata for debugging and analysis
+
+### CommandDecisionTree
+**Purpose**: Complete decision tree containing all evaluated command paths from a given position.
+
+**Key Fields**:
+- `rootNodes`: All possible first moves from the starting position
+- `bestCommand`: Pointer to the optimal root command
+- `maxDepth`: Maximum lookahead depth of the tree
+- `totalNodes`: Total number of nodes in the tree (for statistics)
+
+**Features**:
+- Provides complete visibility into AI decision-making process
+- Enables analysis of alternative moves and their consequences
+- Supports tree statistics and debugging information
+- Maintains backward compatibility through `GetBestCommandIndex()`
+
+**Memory Management**:
+- Uses `std::unique_ptr` for automatic memory cleanup
+- `GameStateW` objects are stored directly (not shared pointers for simplicity)
+- Tree structure ensures proper cleanup when nodes go out of scope
+
+### Tree vs. Legacy Approach Comparison
+
+| Aspect | Legacy (Single Best) | Tree-Based (Complete) |
+|--------|---------------------|----------------------|
+| **Output** | Best command only | Complete decision tree |
+| **Memory** | Minimal | Higher (stores all paths) |
+| **Analysis** | Limited visibility | Full decision transparency |
+| **Debugging** | Single command info | Complete move sequences |
+| **Performance** | Slightly faster | Comparable (same calculations) |
+| **Compatibility** | Direct usage | Wrapper maintains compatibility |
+
+### Usage Patterns
+
+**For AI Decision Making**:
+```cpp
+auto treeFuture = BuildDecisionTree(pid, isDefender, depth, maxRepeat,
+                                   engine, strategy, utility, settings,
+                                   castles, apdCache, alCache, deadline);
+CommandDecisionTree tree = treeFuture.get();
+size_t bestCommand = tree.bestCommand->commandIndex;
+```
+
+**For Analysis and Debugging**:
+```cpp
+CommandDecisionTree tree = treeFuture.get();
+// Examine all possible moves
+for (const auto& rootNode : tree.rootNodes) {
+    std::cout << "Command " << rootNode->commandIndex
+              << " Score: " << rootNode->lookaheadScore << std::endl;
+    // Traverse children to see consequences
+    for (const auto& child : rootNode->children) {
+        // ... analyze child moves
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Legacy Compatibility**:
+```cpp
+// Existing code continues to work unchanged
+auto indexScoreFuture = BestCommandIndex(pid, isDefender, ...);
+IndexAndScore result = indexScoreFuture.get();
+size_t bestCommand = result.index;
+```
+
+The tree-based approach provides complete decision transparency while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing AI code.
+
+## MCTS Alternative: Randomness Handling Recommendations
+
+The new MCTS-based AI system is available in `MCTSAI.hpp/.cpp` and provides an alternative to the iterative deepening approach. However, the current MCTS implementation uses simplified randomness handling compared to the sophisticated approach in the original system.
+
+### Current MCTS Limitations
+
+1. **Expansion Phase**: Uses average rolls (0.5) for all commands during tree expansion
+2. **Simulation Phase**: Uses random command selection with average rolls
+3. **Missing**: No explicit chance nodes for commands with `HasOdds()`
+4. **Missing**: No multi-sample evaluation for stochastic commands
+
+### Recommended Improvements: Chance Node Integration
+
+#### 1. **Explicit Chance Nodes** (Highest Priority)
+
+For commands with `HasOdds()`, create explicit chance nodes in the MCTS tree:
+
+```cpp
+// During MCTSExpansion
+if (descriptor->HasOdds()) {
+    // Create TWO child nodes: success and failure
+    auto successNode = CreateMCTSNode(commandIndex, SUCCESS_VARIANT);
+    auto failureNode = CreateMCTSNode(commandIndex, FAILURE_VARIANT);
+
+    // Execute with deterministic rolls (matching original system)
+    ExecuteWithRoll(successNode, 1.0 - successChance/2.0);  // High roll
+    ExecuteWithRoll(failureNode, (1.0 - successChance)/2.0); // Low roll
+
+    // Set probability weights for selection
+    successNode->probabilityWeight = successChance;
+    failureNode->probabilityWeight = 1.0 - successChance;
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. **Weighted Selection for Chance Nodes**
+
+Modify `MCTSSelection` to handle chance nodes:
+
+```cpp
+if (node->isChanceNode) {
+    // Select based on probability distribution, not UCB1
+    return SelectByProbability(node->children);
+} else {
+    // Normal UCB1 selection for decision nodes
+    return node->GetBestChild(explorationConstant);
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. **Probability-Weighted Backpropagation**
+
+Update backpropagation to account for chance node probabilities:
+
+```cpp
+void MCTSBackpropagation(MCTSNode* node, double reward) {
+    while (node) {
+        node->visitCount++;
+
+        // Weight reward by probability for chance nodes
+        double weightedReward = reward;
+        if (node->parent && node->parent->isChanceNode) {
+            weightedReward *= node->probabilityWeight;
+        }
+
+        node->totalReward += weightedReward;
+        node->averageReward = node->totalReward / node->visitCount;
+        node = node->parent;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. **Multi-Sample Commands**
+
+For commands without explicit odds but with randomness, use stratified sampling:
+
+```cpp
+// During expansion, create multiple child nodes with different rolls
+for (int sample = 0; sample < numSamples; ++sample) {
+    double roll = static_cast<double>(sample) / (numSamples - 1);
+    auto sampleNode = CreateMCTSNodeWithRoll(commandIndex, roll);
+    sampleNode->probabilityWeight = 1.0 / numSamples;
+}
+```
+
+### Benefits of Chance Node Integration
+
+1. **Accurate Evaluation**: Preserves the sophisticated randomness handling from the original system
+2. **Better Convergence**: MCTS can properly explore both success/failure outcomes
+3. **Realistic Simulations**: Tree accurately represents game's probability distributions
+4. **Comparable Results**: Makes MCTS results directly comparable to iterative deepening
+
+### Implementation Priority
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Add explicit chance nodes for `HasOdds()` commands
+2. **Phase 2**: Implement probability-weighted selection and backpropagation
+3. **Phase 3**: Add multi-sample support for general stochastic commands
+4. **Phase 4**: Optimize performance with lazy expansion of chance nodes
+
+### Alternative: Determinization Approach
+
+If explicit chance nodes prove too complex, consider **determinization**:
+
+- Run multiple MCTS trees with different fixed random seeds
+- Aggregate results across all determinizations
+- Simpler to implement but potentially less accurate than explicit chance nodes
+
+### Switching Between AI Systems
+
+Both AI systems (`IterativeDeepeningAI` and `MCTSAI`) implement compatible interfaces. The algorithm is selected at **runtime** via the ShardokAIClient constructor:
+
+```cpp
+// Using Iterative Deepening (default)
+ShardokAIClient client(playerId, isDefender, hexMap, settings);
+// Or explicitly:
+ShardokAIClient client(playerId, isDefender, hexMap, settings,
+                      AIAlgorithmType::ITERATIVE_DEEPENING);
+
+// Using MCTS
+ShardokAIClient client(playerId, isDefender, hexMap, settings,
+                      AIAlgorithmType::MCTS);
+
+// Note: MCTS configuration can be customized via MCTSConfig:
+// - maxIterations: 10000 (max MCTS iterations per move)
+// - maxSimulationDepth: 10 (depth for rollout phase)
+// - maxTreeDepth: 20 (max tree depth to prevent stack overflow)
+// - explorationConstant: 1.414 (UCB1 exploration vs exploitation)
+// - useMultithreading: true (APD cache is thread-safe with TLS + mutex protection)
+// - numThreads: 4
+```
+
+The selection is made per AI client instance, allowing different algorithms for different players or game situations within the same server process.
+
+#### Direct AI Usage (Lower Level)
+
+Both AI systems can also be used directly:
+
+```cpp
+// Using Iterative Deepening directly
+auto iterativeAI = IterativeDeepeningAI(playerId, isDefender, strategy,
+                                       castleCoords, apdCache, alCache);
+auto result = iterativeAI.IterativeSearch(settings, state, commands, budget);
+
+// Using MCTS directly
+auto mctsAI = MCTSAI(playerId, isDefender, strategy,
+                    castleCoords, apdCache, alCache);
+auto result = mctsAI.Search(settings, state, commands, budget);
+```
+
+#### Algorithm Comparison
+
+| Feature | Iterative Deepening | MCTS |
+|---------|-------------------|------|
+| **Randomness Handling** | Sophisticated (chance nodes, multi-sample) | Simplified (average rolls) |
+| **Performance** | Single-threaded | Multithreaded |
+| **Search Type** | Fixed depth with iterative deepening | Adaptive with time budget |
+| **Memory Usage** | Lower | Higher (maintains tree) |
+| **Max Tree Depth** | Limited by lookahead setting | Limited by `maxTreeDepth` config (default: 20) |
+| **Tree Destruction** | Not applicable | Iterative (avoids stack overflow) |
+| **Best For** | Precise evaluation, production | Performance testing, fast decisions |
+
+The MCTS implementation provides a solid foundation. Known limitations:
+1. **Randomness Handling**: Simplified compared to iterative deepening (no explicit chance nodes)
+2. **Simulation Quality**: Uses random rollouts instead of sophisticated evaluation
+
+Note: The APD cache is fully thread-safe using thread-local storage and mutex-protected shared cache.
+
+Adding chance node handling and ensuring thread safety would make it a superior replacement for the iterative deepening approach while maintaining the sophisticated randomness evaluation that makes the current system effective.
+
+## MCTS Configuration Options
+
+The MCTS AI system provides extensive configuration through the `MCTSConfig` structure:
+
+### Core MCTS Parameters
+
+```cpp
+struct MCTSConfig {
+    double explorationConstant = 1.414;  // UCB1 constant (sqrt(2) by default)
+    int maxSimulationDepth = 1000;       // Maximum depth for rollout
+    int maxTreeDepth = 2000;             // Maximum tree depth to prevent stack overflow
+    bool useMultithreading = true;       // Enable parallel MCTS
+    int numThreads = 16;                 // Number of threads for parallel MCTS (when enabled)
+    MCTSSimulationPolicy simulationPolicy = MCTSSimulationPolicy::BEST_IMMEDIATE;
+    bool enableTranspositionDetection = true;  // Enable pruning of duplicate states
+    double immediateScoreTieBreakThreshold = 5.0;  // When avg rewards differ by less than this, prefer higher immediate score
+    double visitCountTolerance = 0.05;  // Treat visit counts as equal if within this % of best count
+    bool enableImmediateScoreInUCB1 = true;  // Apply immediate score tie-breaking in UCB1 selection too
+};
+```
+
+### Exploration vs Exploitation
+
+- **`explorationConstant`**: Controls the exploration vs exploitation balance in UCB1 selection
+  - Higher values (>1.414): More exploration of unvisited nodes
+  - Lower values (<1.414): More exploitation of known good moves
+  - Default: 1.414 (√2, theoretical optimum for UCB1)
+
+### Tree Structure Limits
+
+- **`maxTreeDepth`**: Prevents stack overflow in deep game trees
+  - Default: 2000 (very high limit for most tactical scenarios)
+  - Terminal detection stops expansion when this depth is reached
+
+- **`maxSimulationDepth`**: Controls rollout length during simulation phase
+  - Default: 1000 (sufficient for most tactical scenarios)
+  - Longer simulations provide more accurate estimates but use more time
+
+### Multithreading Configuration
+
+- **`useMultithreading`**: Enable/disable parallel MCTS execution
+  - Default: true (takes advantage of modern multi-core CPUs)
+  - Requires thread-safe game engine and scoring components
+
+- **`numThreads`**: Number of worker threads for parallel tree building
+  - Default: 16 (adjust based on available CPU cores)
+  - More threads can improve search speed but with diminishing returns
+
+### Simulation Policies
+
+The `MCTSSimulationPolicy` enum controls how commands are selected during the rollout phase:
+
+- **`RANDOM`**: Pure random selection from all available commands
+  - Fastest but least informed simulations
+  - Good baseline for testing MCTS convergence
+
+- **`FILTERED_RANDOM`**: Random selection from AICommandFilter-approved commands
+  - Eliminates obviously bad moves (moving away from objectives, etc.)
+  - Better simulation quality with minimal overhead
+
+- **`BEST_IMMEDIATE`**: Always choose command with highest immediate score
+  - Most informed simulations
+  - Slower but higher quality rollouts
+  - Default setting for production use
+
+- **`WEIGHTED_BEST_IMMEDIATE`**: Random selection weighted by immediate score ranking
+  - Balances exploration with informed choice
+  - Alternative to pure greedy selection
+
+### Transposition Detection
+
+- **`enableTranspositionDetection`**: Enable pruning of duplicate game states
+  - Default: true (improves search efficiency)
+  - Uses hash-based state identification
+  - Prevents wasted computation on equivalent positions reached via different move sequences
+
+### Immediate Score Tie-Breaking
+
+These settings address MCTS's tendency to choose indirect paths when direct paths lead to the same outcome:
+
+- **`immediateScoreTieBreakThreshold`**: Score difference threshold for tie-breaking
+  - Default: 5.0 (when backpropagated rewards differ by less than this, prefer immediate score)
+  - Helps AI choose direct moves over equivalent indirect sequences
+  - Improves user experience by reducing unnecessary intermediate moves
+
+- **`visitCountTolerance`**: Visit count equality threshold for tie-breaking
+  - Default: 0.05 (5% tolerance - visit counts within this percentage are considered equal)
+  - Prevents minor visit count differences from overriding immediate score preferences
+
+- **`enableImmediateScoreInUCB1`**: Apply immediate score tie-breaking during exploration
+  - Default: true (consistent tie-breaking in both exploration and final selection)
+  - When UCB1 values are very close, prefer nodes with higher immediate scores
+  - Improves convergence on direct paths to objectives
+
+### Usage Example
+
+```cpp
+// Custom MCTS configuration for performance testing
+MCTSConfig config;
+config.explorationConstant = 2.0;  // More exploration
+config.simulationPolicy = MCTSSimulationPolicy::FILTERED_RANDOM;  // Faster rollouts
+config.numThreads = 8;  // Reduce threads for testing environment
+config.immediateScoreTieBreakThreshold = 10.0;  // More aggressive tie-breaking
+
+MCTSAI ai(playerId, isDefender, strategy, castleCoords, apdCache, alCache, config);
+```
+
+### Configuration Recommendations
+
+**For Production Use:**
+- Use default settings for balanced performance and quality
+- Consider reducing `numThreads` on systems with limited CPU cores
+- `BEST_IMMEDIATE` simulation policy provides highest quality decisions
+
+**For Performance Testing:**
+- `FILTERED_RANDOM` or `RANDOM` simulation policies for faster rollouts
+- Lower `explorationConstant` (1.0) for more exploitation
+- Disable transposition detection for baseline comparison
+
+**For Analysis/Debugging:**
+- Single-threaded execution (`useMultithreading = false`) for deterministic results
+- Higher `immediateScoreTieBreakThreshold` to emphasize direct paths
+- `BEST_IMMEDIATE` simulation for most predictable behavior
+
+The configuration system allows fine-tuning MCTS behavior for different scenarios while maintaining compatibility with the existing AI infrastructure.
