Attribution is proven, not guessed: the server assigns a per-round-unique
bulletId (GunEngine.nextBulletId) and stamps the same id on BulletFired,
BulletHitBot, BulletHitWall and BulletHitBullet. Keep a FIFO of fired gun
ids, stamp bulletId -> gunId on onBulletFired, resolve through that map.
Hits are deferred when onBulletHit precedes onBulletFired in the same
turn (client dispatches priority 70 > 60), which recovered 14
unattributed hits. 99.9% of shots and 99.8% of hits attributed.
Stats lines now carry per-gun realShots/realHits/realHitRate; the old
keys and round-level totals are unchanged.
bestPower: a gun with zero observations in every bin previously returned
the HIGHEST bin (power 3.0) because an empty bin satisfied the
'count == 0' clause on the first countdown iteration. Cold guns now
return the lowest bin as the docstring always claimed. Warm-gun path
untouched.
- bestGun: replace first-index-wins argmax with random pick among guns
within TieMargin (2%) of best rate. HeadOn at index 0 was silently
winning every tie, starving Tsetlin/Linear/etc.
- MinObsBeforeCompete 15 -> 50 (Pattern entered competition on noise)
- add MinHitRateFloor 0.10: if no gun clears it, fall back to HeadOn
instead of selecting the best of a bad field
- ModularBot: remove AntiSurfer gun (0% virtual hit rate everywhere),
14 -> 13 guns, renumber ids and selection counters
Gun selector now gates competition: guns with <15 total observations across
all power bins sit out until at least one gun qualifies. Falls back to ungated
selection if no gun reaches threshold, preventing cold-start stalls.
Sliding window increased from 50 to 100 ticks to reduce switching noise.
