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.

New DrussGT-inspired modules:
- KNNGun: K-nearest-neighbor statistical targeting using GF density peaks
- GunheatTracker: dual-heat system (predicted + confirmed) for 1-2 tick lead
- ShadowTracker: computes GF regions safe from in-flight bullets (enemy wave dodge)
VirtualBodyTracker now integrates gunheat for earlier fire detection and shadows
for safe-zone multiplier (90% reduction in danger zones).

Renames PatternMover_garage → PatternMover, RandomMover_garage → RandomMover,
WaveSurfer_garage → WaveSurfer. Updates all .json, .sh, .nimble, and config.nims
files to match TR Booter naming convention (directory name = bot name).

Implements VirtualBodyTracker (wave-based hit/miss scoring) instead of EMA damage accumulation. Movement switching now happens every tick, not every 3 rounds. Also refactors radar colors to dark teal (#004444/#0D4D4D) for faint visibility.

- Cold-start bug: uniform bins[0..30]=0.1 made peakBin() always return
0 (first-wins tie), giving GF=-1 (max CW escape) before any learning.
Fixed with a triangular head-on bump at bin 15 (GF=0) as the prior.
- onResult now recomputes mea from FeedbackEvent.bulletPower instead of
the stale first-bin mea cached by predict; correct per-power-bin GF.
- Add DebugGF const (default false) with [gf-dbg] echoes in predict/onResult.

Two bugs fixed:
1. Multi-tick gaps: turn rate assumed 1 tick between observations, but scans can be 5+ ticks apart. Now divides by actual tickDelta.
2. Per-power-bin state corruption: predict() called 4x per tick (per power bin). After first call, prevHeading was already updated, causing subsequent calls to compute 0° delta. Now captures oldHeading/oldTick before updating.
Verified: OscillatorBot at 4°/tick captured correctly; normalization [-180°,180°] works; tickDelta=1 typical; first bin gets delta, subsequent bins see 0 (expected).

- Add maxSpeed param (default true) to runBattleRunner/runBattle
- Drain stdout in poll loop — Java blocked on full pipe buffer causing timeout
- TestBattleRunner.java already had --max-speed; .class was stale and needed recompile

Adds TR_SAMPLE_BOTS env var support to point to external sample bots (Walls, Fire, SpinBot, etc). Updates test_bullet_economy.nim to use Walls from the sample-bots directory instead of custom WallsBot, removing the hardcoded path dependency.

- Document exception handling, zero-value BotResult trap, shared adversary bots
- Add offline parsing example using parseServerOutput
- Skip tests gracefully when JARs missing (guard before suite blocks)
- Fix blocking readLine in runner_process.nim: poll with 50ms sleep + atEnd check
(was preventing timeout enforcement, now blocks correctly during battle)
- Add test task to QBot.nimble and config.nims setup docs to AGENTS.md
- Add debug logging to TestBattleRunner for bot identity tracking

Implements:
- BattleResult type and JSON-lines parser (#127)
- TR server lifecycle manager (#128)
- Bot compiler using nim c (#129)
- runBattle() orchestrator (#130)
- Example test in OscillatorBot_garage (#131)
- Framework usage guide (#132)
- TestBattleRunner.java for external server (#133)
- BattleRunner process lifecycle (#134)
Fix: runner_process.nim was redefining TimeoutError locally; now
uses std/net.TimeoutError consistently with server_manager.nim.
- Deleted constants.nim, event_queue.nim, graphics.nim, json_parse.nim, schemas.nim, utils.nim, and ws_client.nim files.
- This cleanup removes unused code and simplifies the codebase, focusing on essential functionalities.
