does not measure the bot Seven decisions. Two are not what T03 expected, because the review moved the ground under both. D1: strategy fusion DOES NOT APPLY, and that is why the affordable option is also the honest one. Fusion is a defect of aggregating over determinizations to choose a move -- the search picking different actions in states a player cannot distinguish. After the game there is ONE WORLD: the deal is known, so a search over it yields a line executable in the only world there is. The survey treated fusion as this pass's central obstacle; it is an obstacle to a playing engine, which we are not building. The tool answers "given the deal as it actually was, was there a line that reached the threshold" and is labelled that way on screen -- never "how you should have played". D4: difficulty is the WINNABLE FRACTION, not a bot's win rate. C4 killed the bot rate -- two trivial policies span 0-100% on the same deals, and improving the bot would make the game "easier" without a rule changing. A measure that moves when the measurer improves is not measuring the thing. The solver supplies the alternative: over N deals, in what proportion does a winning line exist. That is a property of the deal distribution and the threshold, which is what ground-game tunes and what GROUND-WP-0005 is blocked on. Ships as a table -- winnable fraction, named reference policy, skill gap -- never one number, with policy/N/seed-range/K in the number's name. Stated as a LOWER BOUND, since a K-round search cannot see a line that needed round 1. D2: search GroundState. The survey's view-only structural boundary is not implementable -- a view cannot fold events, and it said so in §6. The guarantee moves to something checkable: every move in a witness is marked visible or hidden, computed from project(). A witness reads "you could have won, but two of these six moves needed a card you had no way to know was coming" -- more useful than either extreme. D3: bounded exhaustive over the last K rounds, table as one co-operative agent, K=2 default. Affordable once C6 corrected the premise: joint branching over the last two rounds is ~5x10^2 / 1.6x10^5 / 5.7x10^5 at 2/3/4 seats. Wording is normative: "no winning line found in the last K rounds", never "unwinnable". PIMC and ISMCTS rejected -- they add strategy fusion to a problem that does not have it. D5: the harness becomes an instrument before any figure is quoted (C3) -- positive controls, --self-test in make self-tests, a make target, and a PLURAL policy panel, because the spread between policies is what C4 exposed and hiding it would restore the error. D6: no new crate and no port. The L declaration was an over-declaration and is recorded as one. D7: the node cost is disputed 5x between author and reviewer; T04 benchmarks it with criterion and neither existing figure may be cited, including by this ADR.

clay-borg
A rebuild from scratch simulation and games engine framework set up to assimilate and optimize techniques and implementations useful for games, simulations, robotics.

Running the gates
make all # every gate, from a clean shell
make -C /path/to/clay-borg all # …or from any other directory
There is no environment setup step. No cd, no export PATH, no
activation script. make locates the repo from its own path and cargo
from the standard rustup locations; the Python tools do the same via
tools/repo.py. The only prerequisites are a rustup toolchain and Python
3.11+.
This is deliberate and enforced: make env-test runs every tool from /
with a PATH containing no cargo, and make all includes it. CB-RES-0003
measured 84 agent turns and $15.33 spent prefixing commands with cd and
export PATH before that friction was fixed at the root (CB-WP-0004 T01).
Other useful targets: make cost (spend per task), make cost-budget
(spend since the last commit), make cost-mix (mechanical vs judgment
turns), make loop-lint (executable InnerLoop rules), make self-tests
(every tool's positive control).
GROUND
The first product vertical is a virtual tabletop implementation of GROUND — A Game of Bonds and Rivalry: DARVO Edition. The boardgame itself (rules, editions, content) is at home in the sister repository ground-game — that repo is authoritative for what GROUND is; clay-borg implements the engine that runs it.
