NNUE: re-fit raw-to-score calibration, NNU4 weight format, super-lazy default-on, lazy probe measured net-negative

2026-10-21T01:37:20Z

Fits an affine (a + b*raw) correction into every exported .nnue file (export_nnue_weights.py's CalibrateScoreMapping) so the engine's consumed centipawn output tracks Stockfish's real score scale rather than the net's nominal raw WDL-sigmoid output -- training variance alone shifts this mapping across retrains even with an identical recipe, so it's re-fit and baked in per export rather than assumed constant. Weight format bumped to "NNU4" to carry the two new floats; older NNU1/2/3 files are no longer readable. Super-lazy (material-only) pre-filter promoted to default-on (g_fUseNnueSuperLazy = TRUE) with a recalibrated per-material-bucket margin table (measured against the recalibrated net, 16-shard cross_sectional_200k.ep_ sample) -- real, measured nps win across all three curated suites. The separate lazy-probe gate (accumulator-based early exit) is measured net-negative on real search traffic at this net's probe-vs-forward latency ratio and stays off by default (g_fUseNnueLazyProbe = FALSE); code kept live since margin tuning could still flip this, per docs/NNUE.md. Also: direct per-call latency instrumentation for NnueProbeScore/ NnueForward (root.c, EVAL_TIME build) to make the lazy-probe breakeven math measurable directly instead of inferred; QSearch futility margins given real-data-derived NNUE_FULL/NNUE_LAZY starting points.

These are large generated/downloaded data files (twic.pgn alone is 3.5GB) that don't belong in version control.
