Implements the full board_representation/MOVEGEN_MIGRATION.md scope:
bitboard-backed generators for all six not-in-check piece types plus
the JumpTable-avoiding whole-node dispatch fork (_GenerateAllMovesBB),
the in-check escape path (king flight + block/capture), and
movesup.c's ExposesCheck/FasterExposesCheck/ExposesCheckEp/IsAttacked/
InCheck bitboard equivalents. Nine toggles total
(GENERATE_{KNIGHT,KING,ROOK,BISHOP,QUEEN,PAWN}_BITBOARD,
GENERATE_ESCAPES_{KING,BLOCK}_BITBOARD, EXPOSESCHECK_BITBOARD,
ISATTACKED_BITBOARD), all now on by default in GNUmakefile --
DISABLE_BITBOARD_MOVEGEN=1 opts back into the mailbox path, which
remains fully present and compiled either way.
Correctness verified via perft (Kiwipete, Position 4), the move-set
comparison harness across 20,000 random positions, all nine toggles
combined cleanly (15/15 runs, after fixing a GenerateRandomLegalPosition
en-passant-sentinel bug in the test harness), and sd10 on all three
curated suites showing zero solve-count regression vs head_reference
(the ecm_hard_quick delta traced to unrelated intervening commits).
Speed: most individual generators land near parity by design (mailbox's
per-square walk was already close to O(destination count)); the real,
consistent wins are the dispatch-layer fork (up to 23% in dense
positions) and IsAttackedBB (0.73x-0.93x of mailbox).

Board-representation migration, sections 2-3 (GetAttacks half):
- board.c: VerifyPositionConsistency's bbPieces consistency check
(migration section 2), verified clean via gmake TEST=1 with the
assert live.
- POSITION.bbPawns[2]: new incrementally-maintained per-color pawn
location bitboard (chess.h), maintained at the same 6 move.c sites
as bbPieces, populated from scratch in fen.c. Distinct from the
pawn-hash-keyed bbPawnLocations; this one needs no
SEARCHER_THREAD_CONTEXT, so it's reachable from GetAttacks's actual
call sites (which only ever have a POSITION*).
- data.c/chess.h/main.c: g_RookRayAll/g_BishopRayAll (all 4 per-square
ray directions pre-ORed) and g_PawnAttackOriginBB[2][128] startup
tables, plus FastFirstBit/FastLastBit (static inline bsf/bsr
wrappers, chess.h) -- supporting tables/helpers for the primitive
below.
- see.c: _WhoAttacksSquareBB (bitboard "who attacks square X" query)
and _GetAttacksBB (SEE_LIST-populating PoC wrapping it), side by
side with the existing SlowGetAttacks/asm GetAttacks -- not wired
into the GetAttacks macro yet (section 6), pure addition.
- testsee.c: SeeListsAreEqual made order-independent (SEE() sorts the
list right after GetAttacks returns, so order was never semantically
significant); TestGetAttacks extended to run _GetAttacksBB as a
third comparison across the existing 20,000-random-position sweep;
added an interleaved asm/Slow/BB cycles-per-call benchmark across
opening/middlegame/endgame positions.
- testsup.c: fixed GenerateRandomLegalPosition (used by the sweep
above) to maintain bbPieces/bbPawns at its two hand-placement sites
-- a latent gap since section 1 that made its own
VerifyPositionConsistency legality gate almost always reject
generated positions, causing large, variable retry-loop slowdowns.
Verified: 20,000-position x every-square x both-colors correctness
sweep passes (gmake TEST=1), precommit_check.sh clean (self-test +
DEBUG smoke test). Benchmark: _GetAttacksBB is ~0.53-0.55x asm
GetAttacks's cycles/call (opening/middlegame) and ~0.89x (endgame) --
faster, not just equivalent, primarily from replacing bbOccupied's
up-to-16-iteration pawn loop with two bbPawns ORs, plus a
g_PawnAttackOriginBB table lookup replacing per-call pawn-delta
arithmetic and per-direction/per-side-group early-outs in the slider
walk. See board_representation/MIGRATION.md section 3 for the full
writeup, including a reverted approach that measured slower and why,
and the CountKingSafetyDefects half's re-scoped (not yet implemented)
design.
Also confirmed (not caused by this work, not fixed here): a
pre-existing non-deterministic MP-race assertion in util.c:1093's PV
printing, reproduced independently on a clean HEAD checkout.
