6 daysFix all build warnings across release/DEBUG/TEST profilesScott Gasch
Clean gmake GENETIC=1 PERF_COUNTERS=1 MP=1 SIXTYFOUR=1 build had 100 warnings; DEBUG=1 and TEST=1 builds had more once actually exercised. - OFFSET_OF/CONTAINING_STRUCT (chess.h) and PTR_TO_ALLOC_HASH (unix.c) truncated pointers through 32-bit ULONG before use in offset/hash arithmetic on this 64-bit build -- routed through size_t instead. - Diagnostic int<->void* round-trips (command.c, root.c, split.c, sig.c, data.c, unix.c, util.c) widened/narrowed via size_t to avoid implicit truncation. - ABS_DIFF on unsigned COOR now casts to int before abs(). - Dropped -fexpensive-optimizations (GCC-only, clang silently ignores it) from GNUmakefile. - Removed genuinely dead variables (book.c, gamelist.c, split.c, testgenerate.c, testhash.c). - Guarded DEBUG/PERF_COUNTERS/_X86_-only variables and the _CMEvidenceBucket helper under the #ifdef that actually reads them, since ASSERT/EVAL_TERM/KEEP_TRACK_OF_FIRST_MOVE_FHs compile away outside those builds. - Added missing prototypes for SlidePawn, SlidePawnWithoutSigs, SlidePieceWithoutSigs (move.c), previously undeclared in chess.h. - Removed dead _SystemIsRoot (unix.c). Verified via precommit_check.sh: TEST=1 self-test suite passes, DEBUG=1 smoke test (10 random ECM positions, sd 4) passes with no crashes/assertions, release build restored -- all three profiles now build with zero warnings.

11 daysFix batch-mode exit code, killer-table backfill collision, impossible ↵Scott Gasch
QSearch mate-magnitude asserts, MATEMOVE PV display, --command truncation, and test.sh's stale egtbpath. Several small, independent correctness fixes bundled together since they were all exercised together through today's precommit_check.sh and curated-suite runs: - command.c: batch-mode's "Exhausted input" exit was exit(-1), which truncates to 255 (an 8-bit status) and is indistinguishable from a real crash's nonzero exit. Changed to exit(0) so debug_smoke_test.sh can reliably tell a clean batch run apart from a crash by exit status alone. - dynamic.c: _NewKillerMove's slot[1] backfill from mvNullmoveQuietRefutations[uPly] had no check that the backfilled move differed from the move just placed in slot[0]. When they coincided, both slots held the identical move, silently wasting a killer slot in release builds (ASSERT is a no-op there) and tripping _NewKillerMove's own IS_SAME_MOVE invariant in DEBUG builds. Fixed by skipping the backfill on collision. - search.c: removed two ASSERT(iBestScore > -NMATE) calls in QSearch that encoded an invariant that isn't actually guaranteed -- at an early full-width root iteration, or after aspiration-window widening following repeated fail-highs, an ancestor frame's iAlpha/iBeta can itself already be more extreme than -NMATE with no mate anywhere in the line, so a legitimate fail-low placeholder or fail-high score can land in mate-magnitude territory purely as a window artifact. hash.c's storage path already treats any value <= -NMATE as a sound upper bound regardless of origin, so this was a false invariant, not a caught bug. Also: minor whitespace cleanup, an added ASSERT documenting the futility-margin depth precondition it replaced a redundant runtime check for, and PV/leaf-count bookkeeping on the mate/draw-at-root leaf paths that was previously skipped. - util.c: MATEMOVE sentinel moves weren't handled in PV-to-string conversion, so a PV ending in a detected mate would either display garbage or hit the same-move assert. Added an explicit "<#>" marker. - test.sh: --egtbpath pointed at a nonexistent /egtb/three;/egtb/four; /egtb/five; corrected to /zscratch/egtb, this box's actual EGTB location. - main.c/input.c: --command's initial-command buffer (g_szInitialCommand) was a fixed 256-byte array; strncpy(..., SMALL_STRING_LEN_CHAR - 2) silently truncated any longer --command string, and -- worse -- when the source was long enough not to fit, strncpy doesn't null-terminate the destination, so the immediately-following strcat(..., "\r\n") could read/write past the buffer. Long move-replay command strings used during this session's debugging hit the truncation directly (a ~600 char move list silently cut off mid-token, desyncing the input queue). Changed g_szInitialCommand to a heap allocation sized to the actual input length instead of a fixed cap. - CLAUDE.md: documents the above (this file's own diff is prior session's writeup of these same fixes, committed now alongside the code). All exercised together via precommit_check.sh (self-test suite + DEBUG smoke test against random ecm.ep_ samples) and the sd10/sn5m curated suite sweep run for the eval.c hand-tuning commit just before this one.

12 daysFix _ShouldWeConsiderThisMove's SEE-purity bug and ComputeMoveScore'sScott Gasch
killer-mate edge case; fix PV-display cycle hang. _ShouldWeConsiderThisMove (QSearch's move-consider gate) read the raw, move-ordering-biased mvf[].iValue directly instead of going through ComputeMoveScore, so it inherited the same +120-ish flat bias (plus small MVV-LVA nudges) on winning/even captures that ComputeMoveScore was already fixed to strip out. Fixed via the same MOVE_SCORE_ORDERING_BIAS subtraction, now factored into a shared chess.h macro. Restoring the old effective leniency required an explicit QSEARCH_CONSIDER_MARGIN (120, A/B'd against 0/60/120 on ecm_ringers/confident_quick/hard_quick) rather than assuming the bug's magnitude was itself a meaningful margin -- net effect vs the pre-fix baseline is -2 solves on hard_quick, accepted as the cost of correctness (see lmr_testing/RESULTS.md for the full sweep). ComputeMoveScore separately mishandled quiet killer-mate moves: they can reach SORT_THESE_FIRST via generate.c's killer-mate bonus (unrelated to the capture-bias path), so the bias-subtraction was wrongly applied to a move that never had that bias. Gated the subtraction on IS_CAPTURE_OR_PROMOTION(mv); quiet moves (including killer-mate ones) now correctly collapse to 0, per the function's contract of estimating a move's value on the 100=1-pawn axis. Measured as a no-op on all three suites -- rare in practice, but a real correctness fix. Left a comment documenting two candidate refinements for scoring quiet moves as non-uniform future work, deliberately not implemented (each needs its own isolated test). FinishPVTailFromHash (cosmetic PV-display hash-walk, used only for printing) had no cycle detection, so a drawish/repeating position could spin until the output buffer filled instead of terminating naturally. Added visited-position-signature tracking and a <REP> marker. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YGSMkwjqiCk4XhbfN7ugD2
13 daysBaseline: uPositional data-calibrated fix, enprise/trapped hints, ↵Scott Gasch
EBF/beta-cutoff/counter-move stats, script.c FPE fix. No LMR, no counter-move-driven move ordering (both explored separately, kept out for now -- counter-move measured worse, ~655->647 solved on ecm879 @ sn=4M with a leaner tree beforehand). Futility pruning restored. Verified: 647/879 solved, EBF 4.609 @ sn=4M; 684/879 solved, EBF 3.995 @ 20s/move, 1cpu, 256m hash (typhoon_baseline.log). The counter-move table is still written and its stats still tracked (dynamic.c) for diagnostic purposes, but generate.c no longer reads it for move ordering, so it has no effect on search behavior in this commit. lmr_testing/ holds the in-flight graded-LMR + counter-move code (not applied here) with notes on what was already tried and measured, so a future session can resume without re-deriving it.
