King-safety recalibration, lazy-eval material floor, eval hot-path trimming
Recalibrate iKingSwingP90 against the bitboard-rewritten CountKingSafetyDefects (~1.28B samples via new CALIBRATE_POSITIONAL/ CALIBRATE_BASE_MARGIN/CALIBRATE_MARGIN_SAFETY diagnostic build flags, board_representation/EVAL.md section 9). Add LAZY_EVAL_MIN_MATERIAL: measured the regular lazy exit's real swing exceeding its own assumed margin 20.6% of the time in near-bare-king endgames (vs <=0.36% elsewhere) -- skip lazy eval entirely below that material floor. Double the stale search.c/searchsup.c CountKingSafetyDefects extension thresholds as a stopgap pending their own recalibration. Eval hot-path trimming (measured via EVAL_TIME, ~1759 -> ~1386 avg cycles/eval on a representative middlegame position): - Pull _GetFileStormDefects out of EstimatePositionalScore's hot path (cost more than the "cheap cached lookup" it was assumed to be, running on ~90% of all Eval() calls). - Add pos->bbOccupiedSide[2], incrementally maintained alongside bbOccupied, so _BuildFriendlySideBB is a field read instead of a 6-term OR. - Switch CoorFromBitBoardRank8ToRank1/Rank1ToRank8 to the existing static-inline FastFirstBit/FastLastBit (same bsf/bsr instruction, no call/ret overhead). - Defer EvalPasserRaces' uRacerDist/fDontCountMeOut past its no-passer early return. - Remove the mailbox-era "max mobility in a row" term from _EvalBishop/_EvalRook (no bitboard-mobility equivalent need for it). - Simplify _EvalBishopPairs and rook file-openness/passer bonuses to flat DNA-tunable constants instead of distance/pawn-count-scaled tables, rook file-openness now a branchless bitboard-indexed lookup. - Remove pos->cPiece (write-only, no reader anywhere). - Collapse WHITE/BLACK mirror-branches (castle-rights block, rook-trapped-in-corner) to color-indexed constants. - Close the PAWN_BIT..KING_BIT gap (bits 7-3 -> bits 4-0), removing the bvPattern >>= 3 before its KING_COUNTER_BY_ATTACK_PATTERN lookup. This also fixes a real bug introduced earlier this session when _WhoControlsSquareFast was converted to read these constants directly: g_SwapTable is only [32][32], but the old bit values (up to 0xF8) indexed far out of bounds on any attacked square -- data.c's InitializeSwapTable was always built assuming the bits 0-4 range this change now actually produces.
