+# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+# panel_movement.txt — THE FROZEN MOVEMENT PANEL (Batch 1, 2026-09-26)
+#
+# DO NOT ADD, REMOVE OR REORDER AN OPPONENT without starting a new batch number
+# in docs/movement_campaign.md. Every later job in the movement campaign must
+# measure against THIS list: the unit of evidence is the number of opponents, so
+# changing the panel changes what "better movement" means.
+#
+# Format (one opponent per line):
+#     <bot dir or name> | <style group> | <why it is in the panel>
+# A bare `Name` is expanded to /tmp/tr_bots/Name. Blank lines and #-comments are
+# ignored.
+#
+# `style` is INFERRED (from the bot's name / docs in
+# tools/robocode_shim/robots.json, not from decompilation — robots.json says so
+# explicitly). The style group is used ONLY to explain a result, never to decide
+# one. The bot dirs come from tools/robocode_shim/robots.json (28 battle-validated
+# legacy champions, see LEGACY_BOTS.md) except SpinBot, which is the tank-royale
+# sample bot shipped with the project.
+#
+# Panel design (15 opponents, one axis each):
+#   * numbers matter, style does not: 5-6 opponents per family so a single
+#     weird bot can never carry an arm's mean;
+#   * the anchors (DrussGT/Diamond/Dookious) are the only opponents with older
+#     movement data, so they keep the new numbers comparable to the old ones;
+#   * every opponent must be able to DAMAGE us (WORKS in robots.json, not
+#     WORKS_WEAK): an opponent that lands 0 hits cannot reveal a movement
+#     regression, and an opponent that cannot dodge cannot reveal a range win.
+#
+#   dodger       — wave-surfing / adaptive evasion: punish our bullets AND our
+#                  movement at the same time (the hard axis)
+#   pattern      — pattern-matching guns: punish PREDICTABLE movement, which is
+#                  exactly what a pure perpendicular strafe is
+#   wallfollower — wall-following / wall-avoiding blockers: punish movers that
+#                  do not manage walls and let a corner-camper's corner matter
+#   cornercamper — corner camper / low bot
+#   spinner      — periodic circle mover with a head-on gun: the classic
+#                  "did you do anything obviously stupid" control
+#   rammer       — closes to point blank: punishes a mover whose range
+#                  preference cannot be enforced (and rewards damage output)
+#   brawler      — micro/close-range brawler: same axis as the rammer, different
+#                  gun quality
+#   aggressive   — strong aggressive 1v1 megas: the best all-round stress test
+# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+# ── dodger (5) ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+/tmp/tr_bots/DrussGT      | dodger       | THE anchor. Our only opponent with prior data (docs/surfer_wiring_ab.md, j107, j113) — keeps new results comparable to the old ones.
+/tmp/tr_bots/Diamond      | dodger       | Voidious top-tier: pattern-matching gun + wave-surfing movement.
+/tmp/tr_bots/Dookious     | dodger       | Voidious: wave-surfing movement + pattern/GF gun.
+/tmp/tr_bots/GresSuffurd  | dodger       | Surf gun + surf movement; the most "modern" of the surfers here.
+/tmp/tr_bots/CassiusClay  | dodger       | Pattern-matching gun + surf movement (different gun family from Diamond).
+
+# ── pattern (3) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+/tmp/tr_bots/RetroGirl    | pattern      | Perceptual pattern matcher — the strongest pattern gun in the panel (26 hits in 2 rounds in the validation).
+/tmp/tr_bots/TripHammer   | pattern      | Pattern matcher (19 hits in 2 rounds — strong).
+/tmp/tr_bots/Coriantumr   | pattern      | Mini pattern matcher: small/simple bots stress the same axis at low complexity.
+
+# ── wall follower / corner camper (2) ────────────────────────────────────────
+/tmp/tr_bots/WallAvoider  | wallfollower | Micro wall-avoider, classic blocking-Robot style: the "wall management" control.
+/tmp/tr_bots/HawkOnFire   | cornercamper | Corner camper / low bot: punishes movers that let the enemy own a corner.
+
+# ── spinner (1, NOT from robots.json — see the note) ─────────────────────────
+/home/davide/Projects/tank-royale/sample-bots/java/build/archive/SpinBot | spinner | The tank-royale sample SpinBot: the only true periodic circle-mover available (there is NO spinner among the 28 legacy champions). It is the same bot every legacy validation used, so it is a known quantity; it is the control for "obviously stupid" movement, not a hard test.
+
+# ── rammer / brawler (2) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+/tmp/tr_bots/DiamondStealer | rammer      | Rammer / close-range brawler: the only pure rammer validated (12 hits at point blank in the validation).
+/tmp/tr_bots/BlitzBat       | brawler     | Micro brawler: close-range aggression with a weaker gun.
+
+# ── aggressive mega (2) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+/tmp/tr_bots/YersiniaPestis | aggressive  | Strong aggressive 1v1 mega (never defeated in the 2-round validation) — the generalist stress test.
+/tmp/tr_bots/Ascendant     | aggressive  | Aggressive 1v1 mega on a team-derived pattern base — the second generalist.
