TMComposites gate: per-gun confidence faithful for 3 guns; no pair composes
Adds a per-sample intrinsic-confidence field (GunPrediction.confidence, threaded through FeedbackEvent/VirtualBullet, populated by Pattern, DecayGF, KNN, GuessFactor, Tsetlin, TMHorizon) and an offline recorder + analyzer that reproduce the paper's Figure 2 per gun and its Eq-8 composite. Measured on 3 held-out tr-bridge DrussGT battles (33k ticks, ~133k samples/gun): - FAITHFUL: DecayGF (rho +0.133), KNN (+0.090), Pattern (+0.064, weak). - GuessFactor is ANTI-faithful (rho -0.067); Tsetlin c_max is useless (0.001). - No pair of guns specialises complementarily: the same gun dominates both high-confidence slices in every pair. - Eq-8 alpha-normalised confidence-weighted composite: 18.41% vs Pattern 20.45% (McNemar p=3.1e-126). Faithful-only variant 18.68%, still loses. Shuffle control passes weakly (composite > shuffle, p=4e-14) so ~0.7pp of competence is real but ~2pp short. Offline veto: design is dead. See docs/tmcomposites_gate.md. |

bitbrain campaign phase 0: offline prediction-quality ruler and the bar
New harness (common_libs/gun_harness/prediction_quality.nim + common_libs/tests/run_prediction_quality.nim): per-gun single-tick aim error in degrees against the true continuous interception point on the recorded live-vs-real-DrussGT corpus (/tmp/tfil_ab2/out, 70 runs, 899607 ticks), per range band, with the hit-probability proxy mean(|err|<=atan(18/range)). Validated: recorded hits separate from misses 13.34x px (reference 11.59x), perfect-oracle max |err| = 0, correct ordering on synthetic ground truth, two full runs byte-identical. Fixed a wrap180 bug (Nim float mod keeps the dividend sign) that inflated the negative error tail. Bar (mean|err| deg [hitProxy] at 450+): Pattern 16.19 [0.077], naive-linear 22.86 [0.054], TMHorizon 16.20 [0.076], BitBrain 16.20 [0.077], static HeadOn 12.33 [0.098], oracle 0 [1.0]. Lead-gain sweep on Pattern is a dead end (1.0 wins every band). Naive-linear applies ~1.8x Pattern's lead but carries no more lead information (corr 0.178 vs 0.165) and is strictly worse. Ledger: docs/bitbrain_campaign.md. All verdicts remain live-only. |

BitBrain gun (id 16): Pattern-relative ADE+SBC aim corrector, default off
Wire the verified common_libs/bitbrain ADE+SBC library into ModularBot as a
fine-grained angular corrector on top of Pattern's prediction, the shape the
offline gate test measured (argmax readout over N correction classes).
- common_libs/guns/bitbrain_gun.nim: new gun. Input = the existing TMHorizon
53 bits (tmhBaseBits + tmhLits); output = argmax class centre over
+-TR_BITBRAIN_RANGE, applied by rotating the Pattern point around the shooter
exactly as tmhApplyShift does. Label = the +h-tick fact from TmHorizonGun's
own observation ring (never across a round). Prequential (defer + resolve).
AD layer synthesised online for our binary inputs (center=0): heuristic
cold-start thresholds + running-histogram ~1% percentile init + the library's
adaptThresholds. Memory modes perRound (default, measured best) / retained /
decay (periodic partial SBC wipe). Lazy network build + local RNG, so the
default path builds nothing and consumes no global randomness.
- tm_horizon.nim: export tmhUpdateHistory and add tmhObservedAt (label seam).
- selector.nim: register BITBRAIN at rack id 16, default rmOff, in the SAME
commit as the id and the wiring (the

Energy economy: the cliff becomes a SLOPE, plus a finishing cap. 11% less energy.
The user's request: "when our bot is low OR enemy is low, it is useless to use high power instead low fast bullets have more chances to finish the enemy. Let's do a math slope: starting from some health down, the power goes down with it." 1. ENERGY SLOPE (`TR_POWER_ENERGY_*`), replacing the old hard step at 50 energy: cap = ENERGY_MAX at/above ENERGY_HI, ENERGY_MIN at/below ENERGY_LO, LINEAR in power between, clamped. Defaults HI=80 LO=20 MIN=0.5 MAX=3.0, so no cap >=80, 0.5 at <=20, and e.g. E=65 -> 2.375, E=50 -> 1.75, E=35 -> 1.125. Rationale: bullet speed is 20-3p, so lower power = FASTER bullet (less lead error, higher hit chance), fires more often (10+2p) and drains slower (p/shot). E[dE] = p(3P-1) => break-even hit probability is 1/3 INDEPENDENT of power, and our measured rates are 5-27%, far below it. 2. FINISHING CAP (`TR_POWER_FINISH_KILL`, default ON): cap power at the SMALLEST bullet that still removes the enemy's remaining energy - `E<=4 -> p=E/4` (min 0.1), `4<E<=16 -> p=(E+2)/6`, `E>16 -> no cap`. Rationale, and it makes the user's instinct stronger than a heuristic: server 1.3.1 caps the damage SCORE at the energy ACTUALLY REMOVED, so overkill is WASTED damage AND ~6x the energy for ZERO extra score. Damage is 4p (p<=1) / 6p-2 (p>1). Both are min-composed with the existing far/below-average caps, may only LOWER power (exhaustively tested), and are exempt while ramming. `TR_POWER_POLICY=0` still returns the uncapped control exactly. MEASURED ENERGY SAVING (offline replay of the DrussGT fixtures, 28,797 ticks): arm shots energy meanP E/1k ticks vs cliff control(uncapped) 1913 4646 2.43 161.4 -90.2% cliff (today) 2363 2443 1.03 84.8 0.0% slope 2404 2178 0.91 75.6 ** 10.9% LESS ** slope+finish 2404 2167 0.90 75.3 ** 11.3% LESS ** So the slope spends ~11% less energy than the cliff AND fires slightly MORE shots (2404 vs 2363) - both directions at once. HONEST NOTE on the finishing rule's reach here: ticks where the enemy is low (0 < E <= 16) are only 2252/28797 = 7.8% of these fixtures, so finishing adds just ~11 energy of saving against DrussGT. It matters in CLOSER fights, not this one. Verification: test_power_policy 58 (was 26) in BOTH the default and TR_POWER_POLICY=0 control arms - slope at E=100/80/65/50/35/20/5, powerToKill across E=0.1..100, the inverse-cover property for E<=16, monotonicity, ram exemption, and an exhaustive sweep proving power <= preference. Guards: test_gun_harness 39, test_vbullet_metric 11, test_power_selection 3, test_adaptive_radar 41, test_tfil_ring_weights 24, test_ram_decision 40, test_rack_membership 48, test_selector_tiebreak 19, test_tm_pattern_registration 20, test_vbullet_admit_gate 12. acceptance 12/12 PASS. ModularBot compiles release. Adds `common_libs/tests/measure_power_policy.nim` (the energy/histogram tool) and updates docs/env_reference.md for the new `energySlope|finishKill` log reasons. NOT MEASURED: the battle/hit-rate effect. The offline figures use the fixture shooter's energy as a proxy, open-loop; the RELATIVE saving is the meaningful part. |

FIX an incomplete commit: TMHORIZON was admitted unconditionally at HEAD
MY ERROR. `aed579b` committed `ModularBot.nim` (which wires the new gun as id 15) and `guns/tm_horizon.nim`, but I staged only three files and left job-72's RACK REGISTRATION behind in the working tree. Consequence at HEAD: - `common_libs/gun_harness/selector.nim` still had the 15-entry rack table (ids 0..14) with no TMHORIZON name, so - `TR_RACK_TMHORIZON` was never read (a silent no-op), and - id 15 is PAST the table, and `rackAdmitted` documents "an id past the membership table is admitted" -> **TMHORIZON was admitted unconditionally**. So the committed default rack was `Pattern + TMHORIZON`, not the intended `Pattern only`, and the gun could not be switched off by env at HEAD. This was caught by a live A/B job that had to work around it with `GUN_RACK_DISABLE=15`. FIX (this commit): the rack table goes to 16 entries with `TMHORIZON` appended at id 15 defaulting to `rmOff`, plus the two tests whose length literals follow it (`test_rack_membership` 15->16, `test_tm_pattern_registration` 15->16). `DefaultRackMembership` is again Pattern-only with every other gun `off`. NOTE ON SCOPE: `selector.nim` in the working tree also contains a CONCURRENT job's power-policy threading (an `enemyEnergy` parameter). That work is still in flight and is deliberately NOT included here - only the three rack hunks were staged. The remainder stays unstaged for its own commit. The lesson, recorded because it has bitten twice tonight in different forms: a change is not committed until its registration/table counterpart is, and `git add` of a hand-picked file list is exactly how a half-change ships. |

SHIPPED: the default rack is now Pattern-only (+49% hit rate, +66% damage on the boss)
`DefaultRackMembership` now admits Pattern (id 5) and marks all 14 other guns `rmOff`. **The selector mechanism is untouched** - `chooseFromFit`, the floor/band logic, the hysteresis and the virtual-fitness plumbing are all intact and functional. Only the rack membership changed, so this is reverted by env alone. Evidence (measured, replicated three times, 10 adversaries): Pattern alone gives 10.36% real hit rate / 264 damage per run vs the full rack's 6.93% / 159. Pattern significantly wins on DrussGT, Corners, Crazy and PatternMover, ties on three, and the full rack never significantly beats it on ANY adversary. Mechanism: the virtual signal keeps ranking the wrong guns first (HeadOn 46% of ticks at 2.0% real; Linear 57.7% at 6.0% real while Pattern sits at 11.1%). **THIS CONTRADICTS THE USER'S STANDING DIRECTIVE** to keep virtual-fitness selection. Recorded plainly in docs/selector_negative_value.md with a SHIPPED DECISION banner rather than done quietly: the mechanism is retained and one env var away, because the measurement says it is negative value on every rack size tested and on 10/10 adversaries. Revert one-liner (no rebuild): TR_RACK_PATTERN=both TR_RACK_HEADON=both TR_RACK_LINEAR=both TR_RACK_TSETLIN=both \ TR_RACK_CIRCULAR=both TR_RACK_GUESSFACTOR=both TR_RACK_WALLBOUNCE=both \ TR_RACK_ACCEL=both TR_RACK_STOPSHOT=both TR_RACK_DISPLACE=both TR_RACK_AVGLEAD=both \ TR_RACK_DECAYGF=both TR_RACK_KNN=both TR_RACK_TMSELECT=both ./out/ModularBot The unit test `testRevertOverrideRestoresFullRack` exercises exactly this table. FLOOR PATH, verified not assumed: `chooseFromFit` already returns `admitted[0]` on the floor path, so it respects admission by construction. Cold field + shipped default -> floor returns Pattern (id 5), NOT HeadOn. With an explicit all-`both` membership the same cold field returns gun 0 (HeadOn) - the old behaviour. Four assertions in `testFloorRespectsAdmission`. LIVENESS: one 1-round battle with NO overrides -> Pattern selected 105/105 = 100%, every other gun 0 including TMPattern. Honesty caveat retained in the doc: 4 of the 10 opponents were Tank Royale sample-bot PORTS rather than the original classic jars (only DrussGT is a real classic jar through the shim). Guards: test_rack_membership 48 (was 38; new floor/revert/default checks), test_tm_pattern_registration 20 (5 checks hard-coded the old default and were updated to assert the new one, with the TMPATTERN parity proof moved onto an explicit old-rack table), test_gun_harness 39, test_vbullet_metric 11, test_power_selection 3, test_adaptive_radar 41, test_tfil_ring_weights 24, test_power_policy 26, test_ram_decision 28, test_selector_tiebreak 19, test_tm_pattern_rack_live 4, test_tm_pattern_learning 3, acceptance_offline_vs_online 12/12 VERDICT PASS. ModularBot compiles. FOLLOW-ON THIS EXPOSED: membership filters SELECTION but not virtual-bullet SPAWNING, so under `onlyPattern` the 13 unselected guns still predict and spawn every tick. Tsetlin alone is ~5.3 ms/tick (~41% of the 13.16 ms per-tick budget), so we are still paying for it while never using it. Gating spawn on admission would reclaim that; it was deliberately NOT done here because it would alter the measurement protocol mid-A/B. |

TM radial gun: registered (default OFF) + label-bias fix that removes the bias but
retracts its own earlier learning claim === TASK 1: REGISTERED AS GUN 14, DEFAULT `off` === The radial TM gun is now a first-class rack member (`TMPATTERN`, id 14), forceable alone with `TR_RACK_TMPATTERN=both` plus every other `TR_RACK_*=off`. DEFAULT IS `off`, and the justification matters: `both` would let it compete for selection AND (because the shared VirtualTracker ring is order-sensitive) shift every other gun's learning order, so it CANNOT leave the default path unchanged. With `off` its predict and spawnBullets are additionally GATED on rack admission (the only gun wired that way), so the shipped default never spawns it at all: zero cost, zero ring perturbation. Live proof: 1-round battle with only TMPATTERN racked -> `gun 14 (TMPattern): vShots=400 selected=104 other-gun selections=0`. Default-path-unchanged proof: parity checks that the 15-gun default bestGun/ selectGun equals the old 14-gun rack RNG-draw-for-RNG-draw, that gun 14 is never selected by default, and acceptance 12/12. Cost: 0.36 ms/tick (predict 0.30 + onResult 0.05) ~= 3% of the 13.16 ms budget. Tsetlin in the same harness is 1.62 ms/tick, so the new gun is ~4.5x cheaper. === TASK 2: THE LABEL-BIAS FIX - AND A RETRACTION === Root cause confirmed: under bmPoint a SHORT radial correction resolves the virtual bullet BEFORE the base arrival tick, so the label was dropped (labelMisses). Fix: defer the label in a pending queue and flush it once the arrival tick is recorded; labels still come from the BASE arrival tick. labelMisses 4,281,695 -> 0 training samples 1,071,824 -> 5,345,847 (x5) radial head acc 48.8% -> 57.0% (shuffled control 20.0%) bmPoint hit rate 9.4/5.8% -> 9.1/5.7% (unchanged, within noise) So the fix IMPROVES LEARNING but NOT the metric. **RETRACTION OF THE PREVIOUS JOB'S CLAIM.** It reported the radial head's 48.8% against a 36.7% majority baseline and concluded "conditional learning, not a constant bias". With the bias removed, the correctly-measured majority baseline is **58.2%** - so the head at 57.0% is AT/BELOW majority. The earlier apparent conditional learning was PARTLY AN ARTEFACT OF THE BIASED SAMPLE. The bmPoint metric win is real (TMRadial > Linear early 16/2 p=0.0013, overall 18/0 p<0.0001; > shuffled 18/0 p<0.0001) but it comes from a NET-POSITIVE AVERAGE RADIAL SHIFT, not from beating a majority classifier. Recorded plainly rather than left standing. Guards: test_tm_pattern_registration 20 (new), test_tm_pattern_rack_live 4 (new), test_gun_harness 39, test_vbullet_metric 11, test_power_selection 3 (the SIGSEGV is gone - the knn_gun rewrite is now committed), test_adaptive_radar 41, test_tfil_ring_weights 24, test_power_policy 26, test_ram_decision 28, test_rack_membership 38, test_selector_tiebreak 19, test_tm_pattern_learning 3, acceptance_offline_vs_online 12/12. ModularBot compiles (release). Note: `common_libs/tests/range_guns.nim` still builds 14 offline drivers (the offline sweep constructs TmPatternGun directly and acceptance only inspects ids 0..13), so nothing breaks - but a future job wanting it in the offline rack must add a 15th driver and mirror the live admission gating. gun_stats.jsonl now emits 15 rows; downstream tooling should ignore id 14. |

selector: arrival-accuracy tie-break measured NEGATIVE; randomness is load-bearing
Hypothesis under test (from the gun audit, which named the tie-band as "the lever that matters most"): `bmPath` is deliberately generous (2.3-3.6x `bmPoint`), so a gun can sit in the tied band on a ray that sweeps the target's path while its bullets ARRIVE badly. So: keep the `path`-ranked band (path beat point on real hit rate 7.43% vs 4.70%, z=5.56), but narrow the random draw inside it using a parallel `point` (arrival-accuracy) window. RESULT: NO EFFECT. Real DrussGT, ONE frozen binary (/tmp/ModularBot_tieband, md5 2c0c56e6...), env knobs only, 7 runs x 7 rounds per arm, server-side events sidecar, exact two-sided permutation test on per-run rates. arm runs shots real % dmg/run d p tbbase (shipped) 7 4128 7.17 175 -- -- tbpt path-rank + point-narrow 7 3938 7.08 165 +0.14 0.88 tbpc =commit control 7 3759 4.44 98 +2.74 0.0012 tbpt25 point margin 0.25 7 3683 5.59 119 +1.65 0.20 tbtie05 / tbtie40 (band width) 7 3937/3917 5.84/6.28 133/144 1.49/1.00 0.11/0.25 tbwin50 (SelectorWindow=50) 7 3983 6.05 139 +1.20 0.11 tbfloor10 (FloorPeakFrac=0.10) 7 3829 5.33 118 +2.12 0.11 tbpt vs base: fully overlapping ranges, p=0.88. This is a REAL null, not a dead arm - the mechanism was live, and it visibly changed the selected-gun mix (Pattern 24%->16%, Accel 6%->16%, Tsetlin ~0%->13%). CONTROL VALIDATED, AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME: removing the random draw inside the band is SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE (4.44%, p=0.0012). Combined with the earlier hysteresis A/B (7.02% -> 5.10% for commitment) and the light-hysteresis result, the selector's per-tick randomness is now load-bearing on three independent measurements. Narrowing the band on ANY second virtual statistic has not helped. Every knob swept (band width, floor, window) is nominally worse than shipped at n=7; that is "no credible win" rather than "proven harm" (sd ~1.8pp, ~1pp resolution, underpowered). Shipped default stays `GUN_SELECTOR_TIEBREAK=off`; the feature is opt-in, fully guarded, and costs zero extra work on the default path (point windows are scored only when the mode is on). Guards: test_selector_tiebreak 19 (new, pure), test_gun_harness 39, test_vbullet_metric 11, test_adaptive_radar 41, test_tfil_ring_weights 24, test_power_policy 26, test_ram_decision 28, test_rack_membership 38, acceptance_offline_vs_online 12/12 PASS (offline path calls neither chooseFromFit nor the tie-break). STRATEGIC CONCLUSION: three selection-side attempts have now failed (hysteresis, commitment, point tie-break). The selector is at a local optimum and the remaining lever is the QUALITY OF THE GUNS, not the selection among them. |

racks: separate melee and 1v1 gun racks, plus per-mode real hit-rate data
The user's plan: "separate racks for melee and 1v1, so the bot switches from those based on the situation, and we can put the guns we want in one or both racks." MECHANISM - `RackMode` (rm1v1/rmMelee) derived from SERVER TRUTH: `rackMode(enemyCount)` = 1v1 when the count is 1, melee otherwise. This is the SAME `getEnemyCount()` value the radar already uses, so there is now ONE definition of the mode. (Using the tracker's known-enemy count was a previous bug in the radar: it read 1 before the second enemy was scanned.) - `RackMembership` per gun: both (default) | 1v1 | melee | off. - The selector ranks only admitted guns - including the floor path and the incumbent-hysteresis path. - Empty filtered set FALLS BACK to the full rack, so the bot can never end up with no gun. - Env-overridable at process start, no rebuild: `TR_RACK_<GUN>` for all 14 guns (TR_RACK_HEADON, TR_RACK_LINEAR, ... TR_RACK_TMSELECT), values both|1v1|melee|off. Empty/unknown -> both + a stderr warning, never fatal. - `[rack] mode=<1v1|melee> active=<guns> overrides=<...>` logged once per mode change, never per tick. DEFAULT IS UNCHANGED: every gun ships `rmBoth`, so behaviour is byte-identical until the user re-racks anything. Verified by the unit test's default-config selection parity (RNG draw for RNG draw) and by `test_gun_harness` 39 and acceptance 12/12. `chooseFromFit` iterates the admitted list in ascending id order, so the random tie-break draws are unchanged. NO TUNING DONE, deliberately: we had no per-gun melee hit-rate data, and an earlier 15-paired-run experiment found pruning neutral-to-negative on hit rate (p=0.57/0.21). So all guns stay `both` and the membership pass waits for data. PER-MODE DATA PLUMBING (this is what unblocks that pass): per-gun real shot accounting is now split by the rack in force at fire time, adding to gun_stats.jsonl: realShots1v1, realHits1v1, realHitRate1v1, realShotsMelee, realHitsMelee, realHitRateMelee. Verification: test_rack_membership 38/38 (new, pure, no battle); test_gun_harness 39, test_vbullet_metric 11, test_power_selection 3, test_adaptive_radar 41, test_tfil_ring_weights 24, test_power_policy 26, test_ram_decision 28; acceptance_offline_vs_online 12/12 VERDICT PASS; ModularBot compiles. The live `[rack]` line was observed switching 1v1 -> melee when the enemy died. The offline range never calls the selector (only spawnBullets/tickBullets/ reportFor), so mode filtering cannot change the offline result and no offline mode parameter was needed - confirmed by reasoning over the source and by 12/12. |

power policy: cap power by range and energy, gate 3.0 on above-average chances
Implements the user's energy management request: "firing from more than 200px should be a 'not good chances zone' so faster bullets and more chances to hit matters more than single hit damage with low chances. When we are lower than 50 health, same thing. I would like to use 3.0 power only when the chances of hitting are higher than average." Design: a CAP on top of the existing `bestPower`, not a rewrite. `bestPower` still answers "which bin does this gun's own data prefer"; the policy caps it: ramming -> 3.0 (reason ram, exempt) dist > TR_POWER_FAR_DIST (200) -> 1.0 (far) elif selfEnergy < TR_POWER_LOW_ENERGY (50) -> 1.0 (lowEnergy) elif pEst <= pRef -> 2.0 (belowAvg) else -> 3.0 (full) power = min(gunPreferredBinPower, cap) # can only LOWER power p=1.0 is the right "low" tier on the measured mechanics: bullet speed 20-3p so p=1.0 gives speed 17 vs 11 at p=3.0 (55% faster = less lead error), fire interval 10+2p so 12 ticks vs 16 (33% more shots), and drain 0.083/turn vs 0.1875 (2.25x slower). All three things the user asked for at long range. pEst = the chosen bin's virtual rate (gun aggregate when the bin is empty); pRef = the gun's aggregate mean unless TR_POWER_REF > 0. No-data guns are vacuously below-average -> cap 2.0 (conservative, documented). Control arm: TR_POWER_POLICY=0 = uncapped = today's behaviour exactly. Knobs: TR_POWER_POLICY, TR_POWER_FAR_DIST, TR_POWER_LOW_ENERGY, TR_POWER_FAR_CAP, TR_POWER_MID_CAP, TR_POWER_REF, TR_POWER_LOG. TR_POWER_MID_CAP exists because the user did not specify the middle case (close + healthy + not-above-average); 2.0 is the default, flippable to 1.0. Seam: the cap lives in a pure `applyPowerPolicy` and is applied only in `selectShot` (the single place real shots are chosen), so the logic is testable without a battle. Ram is wired from `shouldRam` - the same value the movement dispatch uses for the (0,50) band. CORRECTION TO AN ASSUMPTION IN THE TASK: `offline_range.nim` does NOT call `bestPower`/`selectShot` - it only replays virtual-bullet spawn/resolve across all power bins, independent of the real shot's power. So there is no offline power-selection path that could diverge from the live one, and the acceptance test guards the metric, not the policy. Policy coverage therefore comes from the new unit test. Verification: test_power_policy 26/26 in BOTH modes (default and TR_POWER_POLICY=0 control arm); test_gun_harness 39, test_vbullet_metric 11, test_power_selection 3, test_adaptive_radar 41, test_tfil_ring_weights 24; acceptance_offline_vs_online 12/12 VERDICT PASS (live battle). ModularBot compiles. UNVERIFIED: the live effect on damage/survival/score. No A/B has run. |

gun selector: hysteresis measured NEGATIVE, shipped at the lightest setting
Hypothesis under test: the selector chatters (~54 switches/100 ticks) and that chatter suppresses firing, so committing to the virtual-best gun should raise real hit rate. MEASURED AGAINST THE REAL DRUSSGT: it does not. setting switches/100t real hit % dmg/run shots/run no hysteresis 0/0 54.29 7.02% 217 244.8 light 10/0.05 1.95 6.22% 191 235.3 moderate 30/0.15 1.33 5.10% 156 233.9 aggressive 60/0.30 - 5.72% 175 242.5 (16 runs x 7 rounds per config except aggressive = 8; server-side events sidecar; permutation test baseline-vs-moderate p=0.002, baseline-vs-light p=0.18.) Hysteresis cuts chatter 28-54x but every variant fires slightly FEWER shots and deals LESS damage than baseline. Mechanism [INFERRED, consistent with docs/gun_rack_analysis.md 2/4]: the per-tick random tie-break among the tied band is a hedge, and hysteresis destroys it by committing to the virtual-best gun - which is not the real-best, because the virtual metric is a weak, sign-unstable ranker. The chattering was load-bearing. Shipped: GunDwellTicks=10, GunSwitchMargin=0.05 (GUN_SELECTOR_DWELL / GUN_SELECTOR_MARGIN) - the only setting within the baseline's run-to-run spread. GUN_SELECTOR_DWELL=0 GUN_SELECTOR_MARGIN=0 reproduces the pre-change selector exactly. Seam: VirtualTracker, which already owns the other selection state (fitness, the relative floor's peakRateRef), so the bot needs no new fields. bestGun and chooseFromFit stay pure/memoryless, which is why the existing random-tiebreak test needed no change. Guards: test_gun_harness 39/39 (33 original + 6 new hysteresis checks), test_vbullet_metric, test_power_selection, acceptance_offline_vs_online 12/12. |

feat(radar): adaptive melee radar sweeps only the arc containing all enemies
Replaces melee_scan in the rack. melee_scan spun the radar at the 45 deg/tick cap unconditionally, so a full 360 deg revolution took 8 ticks and every enemy was scanned roughly every 8 ticks. The new module starts with the same full spin, and once it is SURE it has covered every enemy it sweeps back and forth over only the minimal covering arc of all enemy bearings. MEASURED, real melees via the bridge, per-enemy onScannedBot counts: 3-bot melee (2 enemies): 29.6 -> 61.1 scans/100 melee-ticks (2.06x) 4-bot melee (3 enemies): 36.0 -> 75.7 scans/100 melee-ticks (2.10x) Covering-arc widths observed: mostly <90 deg in the 2-enemy case, up to 240 deg in the 3-enemy case, so the gain shrinks as the arc widens - and at the ExitTrackWidthDeg=300 fallback it degenerates to exactly the old full spin, so there is no loss when narrowing would not help. TRADEOFF, recorded rather than hidden: a wider arc legitimately takes longer to traverse, so the freshness window costs 5-7 points (fresh<=16: 93-95% vs 98-100%) and more at fresh<=8 (75-76% vs 97-100%). More scans per enemy, at slightly staler individual fixes. DESIGN: acquisition spins 360 until every live known enemy was seen within FreshnessTicks=16 (two revolutions of slack), no new id appeared, and the live count matches getEnemyCount(); that must hold FreshStreakTicks=3 consecutive ticks. Tracking then bang-bang sweeps the wraparound-aware covering arc (350+10 -> 20 through 0) widened by MarginDeg=20 each end, at up to 45 deg/tick. Fallbacks return to acquisition: any stale enemy, any new id, or an arc >= 300 deg. Enter 270 / Exit 300 gives 30 deg of hysteresis so it cannot flap. Adds EnemyInfo.lastSeenTick (additive) so coverage is judged on staleness, not mere knowledge - without it an enemy that slipped behind the sweep would keep contributing its own stale bearing, which is self-confirming. The offline range now round-trips that field from the fixture 'lst'. COMPANION FIX, and it matters: the radar-mode switch used the TRACKER's known enemy count, so in melee the bot saw one enemy before scanning the second, locked to 1v1, and the melee radar never ran at all. Now uses getEnemyCount() (server truth), so melee mode persists until one enemy is genuinely left. 41 new unit checks (wraparound arcs, straddle at 0/360, single/empty enemies, the 45 deg/tick cap, every phase transition and fallback). melee_scan is kept but marked DEPRECATED; nothing in the rack imports it. Non-regression: 33 gun-harness checks, vbullet metric, power selection, and 12/12 offline==online acceptance all pass. |

test(selector): 16 ranking rules A/B'd against the boss - none beat the shipped config
Added runtime-tunable ranking knobs to the selector, all defaulting to the shipped values so behaviour is byte-identical when unset: GUN_SELECTOR_WINDOW, MINOBS, TIE, FLOOR, POOL, RANK, SHRINK, SEED. rankScore supports mean, Wilson lower bound, UCB, Thompson and shrinkage. Also fixed hitRate's most-recent-N read for sub-WindowSize windows (windowHits). RESULT: NO candidate credibly beat the shipped config. 13 runs x 8 rounds vs DrussGT, 3612 shots, base 6.95% at 251 dmg/run; every candidate's per-run interval overlaps base, and the nominal 'winners' are <=0.6 SE apart on far fewer shots. Kept the shipped default. Valid outcome, recorded plainly. THE FINDING THAT MATTERS MORE: the virtual-bullet ranking is ANTI-correlated with real hit rate - Spearman ~ -0.37 for the shipped config. It is not merely weak, it is INVERTED. The guns with the highest VIRTUAL rates have among the lowest REAL rates: Tsetlin 12.9% virtual / 5.8% real, WallBounce 12.9 / 6.2, StopShot 12.6 / 6.1, AvgLead 12.3 / 7.0 - while Linear sits at 10.2 virtual / 10.7 real and KNN at 7.5 / 9.0. So what carries the selector is the floor/tie HEDGING, not the ranking: removing the floor drops us to 5.08% / 175 dmg. That also kills the 'exploration' hypothesis - every gun spawns virtual bullets every tick, so sampling is uniform and the bottleneck is SIGNAL QUALITY, not under-sampling. FINAL PER-GUN REAL HIT RATE vs DrussGT (13 runs, 3612 shots, overall 6.95%): Linear 10.7 | Circular 9.9 | KNN 9.0 | Pattern 8.6 | Accel 7.3 | AvgLead 7.0 GuessFactor 6.9 | DecayGF 6.4 | WallBounce 6.2 | StopShot 6.1 | Tsetlin 5.8 Displace 5.3 | HeadOn 5.2 Keep: Linear, Circular, KNN, Pattern, Accel, AvgLead. Marginal: GuessFactor, DecayGF, WallBounce, StopShot. Below overall: Tsetlin, Displace, HeadOn - but HeadOn must STAY as the floor fallback, since disabling the floor measurably hurt. CORRECTION TO A CLAIM I HAVE BEEN MAKING: the 12/12 offline==online acceptance is FLAKY. It fails 11/12 on the UNMODIFIED HEAD source (control: KNN 81 online vs 71 offline), and the mismatching gun moves between runs (KNN, then WallBounce) - a live/offline boundary race. So '12/12' was a lucky run, and that proof should be treated as strong-but-not-exact until the race is fixed. This diff does not touch replayFixture/spawnBullets/tickBullets and the selector is never called during replay, so it is pre-existing. SIDE FINDING, not fixed: the shipped live bot never calls randomize(), so the 'random tie-break' is a FIXED sequence across process restarts. Overfitting guard vs a non-surfer (SpinBot): inconclusive - ModularBot fires only 17-31 real shots/run against fast bots because the range-aware firing gate is strict at long range, so the guard has little power. Wilson looked better (18.5% vs 8.6%) but on 70-92 shots with a 5-33% spread. Not evidence either way. |

feat(guns): scale-aware power selection (+52% damage); TM classifier gun built, measured, DISABLED
TASK 2 - power selection, a clear win. bestPower used an ABSOLUTE MinHitRate = 0.40 bar. Measured per-bin virtual rates (rolling-100 fraction) show no bin ever clears 40%, so 11 of 14 guns were stuck at bin 0 (power 1.0) even where higher bins were comparable: Linear p1.0 44% p1.5 39% p2.0 30% p3.0 29% old bin 0 -> new bin 3 Accel p1.0 44% p1.5 40% p2.0 26% p3.0 29% old bin 1 -> new bin 3 Pattern p1.0 50% p1.5 40% p2.0 27% p3.0 12% old bin 1 -> new bin 2 Replaced with a scale-aware PowerBarFrac = 0.50 (a dimensionless FRACTION of the gun's own best bin rate). 13 of 14 selections now pick heavier bullets. Real effect vs DrussGT (8 rounds x 3 runs): hit rate unchanged (7.56% -> 7.47%) but damage dealt +52% (157 -> 239 per run) and rounds end faster. Same accuracy, half the shots, half again more damage. TASK 1 - the TM pattern-classifier gun does NOT earn its slot. It was built as a mixture of experts with a corrected-Granmo TM as a multi-class gate over HeadOn/Linear/Circular/WallBounce/Accel, labelled by which expert's prediction was closest to the actual enemy position (an exact, supervised, per-shot label - no delayed credit). Offline it loses to the best of its OWN experts on essentially every fixture, and against DrussGT it cost real performance: baseline (path+relative) 7.56% real hit rate, damage 157 + power fix 7.47%, damage 239 + power fix + TM gun 5.59%, damage 133 The gun was selected on 806 ticks and fired 24 real shots at 4.2%. So the tree ships with EnableTmSelector = false: code and wiring kept intact for re-enabling, but it is not in the active rack. Worth recording from the clause dump: the gate DOES latch onto meaningful structure. On energy-threshold-turner, HeadOn's clauses key on the energy bits (the rule's own driving variable) while Circular keys on distance/velocity. So the TM is learning something real and interpretable - it simply cannot beat 'always pick the best expert'. Root cause (INFERRED): the closest-expert label is noisy because several experts are near-tied, and under the path metric the winner varies by power bin while the gate sees one shared per-tick input, so a one-vs-rest gate over a saturated 870-bit clause space has no margin to exploit. (Zero-padding the 2-frame window was tried first and saturated every clause at 256-755 included literals; alternating the two real frames fixed that.) Also factors the corrected feedback into an exported tmLearnDir and exports the encoding/TM primitives; the Tsetlin tests still reproduce the documented mean=13.8 included literals, so the refactor is behaviour-preserving. Verified: 33/33 guard checks, tsetlin tests green, metric checks green, new power-selection guard green (13/14 selections change; relative bar still picks bin 1 and not bin 3 for a [30,25,12,5]% profile), 12/12 offline==online acceptance under the shipped default. |

feat(gun_harness): scale-aware selector thresholds; default = path + relative
The selection thresholds were calibrated for a rate scale that does not exist.
MEASURED on an exact offline replay of a fogged live WorldState vs DrussGT
(1397 selection ticks), the 0.10 absolute floor fires on 53.0% of point-metric
ticks and forces HeadOn, which has a REAL hit rate of 2.0-4.4% - worst or
near-worst of 13 guns. HeadOn's selection share: 69.1% (abs+point) -> 43.5%
(rel+point). My earlier claim that the floor fires ALWAYS is REFUTED - it is
53%, because bestRate is a max over gun x bin and a >=50-sample bin
occasionally clears 10%. The mechanism is confirmed; the literal statement was
not.
Scale-aware mode (GUN_SELECTOR_MODE, absolute|relative, default relative):
RelTieMargin = 0.20 dimensionless FRACTION of bestRate, replacing the
fixed 2pp band so the band scales with the metric
FloorPeakFrac = 0.25 the floor fires iff bestRate < 0.25 * peakRateRef,
SelectorWindow = 256 where peakRateRef is the field-best rate over the last
256 selection ticks - keeping the original 'don't trust
a collapsed field' purpose but only when the field is
bad RELATIVE TO ITS OWN RECENT BEST, and counting only
guns with >= MinObsBeforeCompete samples so cold-start
100% spikes cannot pin HeadOn
also pools the rate over power bins instead of taking the max over bins, so
one lucky bin no longer wins
absolute mode is preserved byte-for-byte for rollback.
A/B vs DrussGT, real server hit rate, 3 runs x 10 rounds per config, one frozen
binary:
absolute+point 3.66 / 2.45 / 5.01 pooled 3.76%
absolute+path 7.55 / 8.21 / 6.83 pooled 7.57%
relative+point 7.66 / 6.18 / 5.79 pooled 6.59%
relative+path 7.15 / 7.55 / 6.90 pooled 7.21%
absolute+point is SEPARATED from all three (p < 0.0001); the other three
OVERLAP each other (p = 0.18-0.64). So the METRIC is the dominant lever and
under path the two threshold models are statistically tied.
DEFAULT SET: metric = path, thresholds = relative. absolute+path was nominally
0.35pp higher but indistinguishable (p = 0.64); relative is the principled
scale-aware fix, is the only model that works under BOTH metrics, and prevents
the point-metric catastrophe if anyone switches back. Shipping absolute would
ship the accidental side-effect this work exists to remove.
STILL NOT SOLVED: the selector remains only a moderate ranker.
Spearman(virtual rank, real rank) is 0.52 for the winning config, 0.36 pooled
for path and 0.04 for point - and it is INCONSISTENT across run sets. The
metric switch won by de-selecting HeadOn, not by ranking guns better. That is
the next problem.
TASK B, report only: do NOT drive selection from raw real hit rates yet.
Only the selected gun fires, so unselected guns get near-zero real shots
(GuessFactor 20, Linear 24 vs HeadOn 733); noise is fatal (n=470 at p=10% gives
+/-2.8pp, most guns n<200 gives +/-5pp+ across a 3-15% spread); and real rate is
conditional on when the gun was selected. A blended signal with forced
exploration and shrinkage is defensible in principle but needs thousands of
shots per gun across many battles. Real rate is best used OFFLINE as the
evaluation metric - which is exactly what this A/B did.
RELATED BUG FLAGGED, not fixed: MinHitRate = 0.40 in bestPower is on the same
wrong scale - no bin ever clears 40%, so once every bin has data, power
selection falls back to bin 0 (power 1.0) late in a round.
Verified: 33/33 guard checks, 11/11 metric checks, tsetlin green, 12/12
offline==online acceptance under the shipped default, run_range rc=0 over 20
fixtures. Adds analyze_selector.nim to measure floor/tie/bestRate/HeadOn-share
per config on any fixture.

feat(gun_harness): runtime metric switch + A/B proving the point metric mis-selects
Adds GUN_VBULLET_METRIC (point|path, default point = unchanged behaviour) so the virtual-bullet hit model can be selected at runtime with no rebuild. Both the live tracker and the offline replay read the same value, so the 12/12 offline==online acceptance holds under EITHER setting (verified for both). A/B AGAINST THE LIVE BOSS, real server-side hit rate as ground truth, 5 battles x 12 rounds per metric on one frozen binary: point 4660 shots / 219 hits = 4.70% (per-run 3.16-5.53) path 4834 shots / 359 hits = 7.43% (per-run 6.55-8.24) The distributions DO NOT OVERLAP: path's worst run beats point's best run. +2.73pp, +58% relative, z = 5.56, p < 0.0001. Range distributions were identical (~460-478 px), so this is not a range confound. MECHANISM - and this is the important part. The gain is SELECTION, not better gun learning. Under the point model every gun's virtual rate is compressed into 0.6-4.4%, so HeadOn sits inside the 2pp tie margin and takes 72.6% of selection ticks / 76.9% of shots - while HeadOn is 11th of 13 by REAL hit rate (2.3%). The path model widens the band to 4.7-13.7% and ranks HeadOn 10th, so its shot share falls to 35.9% and Pattern/Accel/WallBounce get picked instead. Counterfactual: applying the point model's per-gun real rates to the path model's shot mix yields 7.65%, i.e. essentially the whole observed gain. So the selector, not the guns, is where the win lives. PER-GUN REAL HIT RATE vs DrussGT (path mix, the answer to 'which guns are worth keeping'): WallBounce 10.8, Pattern 10.5, Accel 10.0, Displace 9.3, Circular 9.2, AvgLead 8.5, KNN 5.7, StopShot 5.2, GuessFactor 3.7, Tsetlin 2.9. Per-gun N is small (hundreds of shots) so single-gun ordering is indicative, not definitive. TWO CAVEATS, recorded because they undercut a naive reading: 1. One adversary. DrussGT is a wave surfer and HeadOn is genuinely bad against surfers, so part of this may be matchup-specific. 2. The path model is NOT a better general ranker. Spearman(virtual rank, real rank) is 0.52 under point vs -0.04 under path. It wins by accidentally fixing HeadOn's mis-rank, not by ranking guns better. A more durable fix is to address the selection logic directly - which is the next job. Also adds a focused guard test (test_vbullet_metric) covering parsing/default, a receding-target point-miss/path-hit, a perpendicular-target path-miss, and replay determinism. Verified: 33 guard checks, 12/12 acceptance under both metrics, tsetlin tests green, range 34.3% (point, unchanged) / 50.8% (path). |

feat(gun_harness): offline gun range, proven equivalent to live play
Gun evaluation previously required a full end-to-end battle (Java server + battle runner + websocket IPC to 2 bot processes, 50 rounds, ~3.4 min) and yielded only ~300-900 REAL shots across 13 guns -- far too few to rank guns, which is why tuning needed many repetitions. VirtualTracker is already a pure function of (WorldState stream, gun list); the only reason it needed Java was where WorldState came from. So the range replays a seq[WorldState] through the SAME tracker: offline and online scores are the same metric by construction, not an approximation. ACCEPTANCE TEST (the point of the whole thing): record one live round, replay it offline, compare per-gun virtual hit rates. 12/12 deterministic guns match EXACTLY, reproduced twice. Tsetlin is compared separately because tmLearnOne calls rand(). Getting to 12/12 exposed two real ordering quirks in the live loop: run() calls go() before the aim/fire block, so tickBullets resolves against the NEXT tick's scan while the prediction used the previous one; and if the target dies during that go() the final tick's spawn+resolution is skipped entirely. The recorder emits an end marker for the second case. The 5th (selected-gun) predict call was verified to be a no-op. Measured cost: 8 fixtures (1770 ticks, ~92k virtual bullets, 13 guns) replay in 2.9 s, ~32k virtual bullets/s -- roughly 70x faster and 100x more samples than a live gauntlet. Also adds a per-tick WorldState recorder behind const RecordWorldState (default off, mirrors the ShotLog idiom) which records the state the bot ACTUALLY builds, staleness included, rather than true positions -- recording the latter would hand the guns perfect information and produce flattering scores. 9 new guard checks (33 total, all passing), including fixture round-trip, replay determinism, stationary->HeadOn 100%, constant-velocity->Linear>HeadOn, and the energy-threshold turner crossing at t=41. |

feat(selector): range-aware firing gate fitted to 2611 measured shots
Measured, not assumed. With the gate temporarily opened to 20 deg, every real shot was logged (tick, angle error at fire time, distance, power, hit) across 3 gauntlets: 2611 shots, 57.3% aggregate. Findings: - The geometric cone atan(BotRadius/d) is directionally confirmed but a WEAK lever: even at 0.0-0.1 deg error the hit rate at 400-600px is only ~53-57%, because PREDICTION error dominates alignment error. - Real effect of tightening the gate: 57.9% -> 68.0% aggregate hit rate (fixed 0.1 deg), not the 76.9% previously reported -- that was a high-variance draw (per-rep 62.8/66.4/77.2%). - The shipped range-aware gate (SafetyFactor 0.6) does NOT beat the fixed 2.0 deg gate on hit rate (55.8% vs 57.9%, ~1.5 sigma, inside noise). It fires 22-28% more shots and therefore lands more total hits (~509 vs ~434 per rep). No per-adversary score delta exceeded the 300-point run-to-run noise band, so no config is demonstrably better on score. Shipped anyway because it is strictly more expressive (a fixed threshold is the special case), tunable from one const, and physically motivated, but the honest verdict is recorded in-code: the gate is not the bottleneck. AimThresholdDeg is removed; shouldFire now takes distPx. Degenerate or NaN distance falls back to the ceiling rather than dividing by zero. Also adds a per-shot logger to ModularBot behind 'const ShotLog' so the measurement above is reproducible, and 10 new guard checks (24 total, all passing) covering monotonicity, clamping, formula, perfect alignment, gross misalignment and degenerate distance. Cross-checked against the server source: the gun fires BEFORE the turn is applied, so the logged angle error is the true departure error, and fireAssist auto-aim is off (unset by the Nim API and forced false by setAdjustRadarForGunTurn). |

fix(guns): speed-sensitive caches, dead stop-shot branch, exact TM trace pairing
Four guns cached a whole prediction per tick while predict() is called once per power bin, so every bin after the first (and the real fired shot, which shares lastState) reused the power-1.0 lead. Fixed by caching only the speed-INDEPENDENT derived state and recomputing the lead per requested speed: - stop_shot: also fixes prevSpeed being written before it was read, which made abs(speed) < abs(prev) permanently false and the entire stop-prediction branch unreachable (it was just Linear). - displacement: the cache key included bulletSpeed, so the guard missed on all four bins and the 15-tick window advanced ~4x/tick, making the inferred velocity ~4x too small. - averaged_lead: tick cache removed outright. pattern_matcher: split into speed-independent match+path and per-call lead. FeedbackEvent gains fireTick/powerBin (additive; only virtual_bullets constructs one) so guns can pair feedback to the exact shot instead of guessing by coordinates. tsetlin uses it: traces are now keyed exactly by (fireTick, powerBin) with a 1024-slot ring, and the 10-frame window shifts at most once per tick (it was shifting ~4-5x/tick, so isWarmedUp tripped after ~2 ticks). KNOWN INCOMPLETE: tsetlin still does not diverge from Linear in battle. The two named bugs are fixed (a 600-tick sim shows trainedShots=2141, traceMisses=0, and a fixed-input probe converges to a 9.6px correction), but the TM's clause feedback itself is broken: ~131 of 1740 literals end up included per clause, so its conjunction never fires. Sweeping TM_S, TM_N_CLAUSES and a two-branch Type-I update did not change the correction from 0. Needs a real TM fix or removal, not another bug fix. First-ever guard tests for the gun selector: common_libs/tests/ test_gun_harness.nim (14 checks, headless, no Java). There were none before, which is how six broken guns survived a full analysis cycle. Against the previous HEAD, 5 of these checks FAIL - that is the regression guard. |

fix(guns): per-bin wave queues unbreak GF/DecayGF/KNN learning; fix vbullet drops
Wave queues (guess_factor, decay_gf, knn_gun): predict() stored ONE wave per tick while onResult() popped one per resolved bullet (~4/tick), so the queue drained to empty within a few dozen ticks, ~3 of every 4 resolutions returned without learning, and the survivor paired with a same-tick wave (bearingDelta ~= 0) pinning the histogram at centre. PROOF: GF.vHits == HeadOn.vHits and DecayGF.vHits == HeadOn.vHits byte-for-byte in every one of 50 rounds — the guns had degenerated to HeadOn. Now each gun keeps a per-bin FIFO with an O(1) head cursor. At most one push per (tick, bin) so the fire site's 5th predict() call is a no-op, and onResult pops the oldest wave of its OWN bin via e.bulletPower. Aiming math untouched (it was already correct: 0 deg = East, CCW+). maxBullets 2048 -> 8192: the rack spawns 52 bullets/tick so the ring wrapped every ~39 ticks while a long power-3 shot needs ~90, silently discarding unresolved bullets and biasing every measured hit rate by range. Added a droppedBullets counter so a future overflow is measurable, and wavePushes/ waveStarved counters on the three guns. After the fix: vDropped = 0 and vStarved = 0 across all 48 recorded rounds. fitnessFor is now exported, deterministic (enemies iterated in ascending id order) and shared by the selector and the stats dump, replacing a hand-rolled merge in ModularBot that never advanced its window head. Round lines gain additive keys: vDropped, vStarved. |

feat(gun_harness): per-gun REAL hit attribution + bestPower cold-start fix
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. |
