// Headless verification for Master of Vega (Master of Orion clone).
// node tools/verifyMasterOfVega.js [--quick] [--games=N]
// Exits non-zero on any failure.
//
// 1. Rules integrity: ids unique, tech chains acyclic and fully ranked, every
// tech matters, hull/weapon/building bounds, frame indexes in range.
// 2. Procedural art: run the real painters against a fake canvas and assert
// every frame the rules reference was registered.
// 3. Galaxy generation: determinism, star counts, lane connectivity, homeworld
// spacing and habitability, opening-range fairness.
// 4. Ship Marks: damage and hull monotonic in tech; no NaN anywhere.
// 5. Combat: determinism, mirror-match fairness, tech/number advantage,
// auto-resolve agrees with playing it out, no battle hits the round cap.
// 6. Colony economy: slider normalisation, mandatory ecology, spillover,
// factory cap, growth, waste recovery.
// 7. Diplomacy and the Galactic Council: vote arithmetic, refusal, no deadlock.
// 8. Leaders: hiring, postings, upkeep bounds.
// 9. Serialisation: round-trip byte-identical, hash stable, version rejected.
// 10. AI self-play soak: full games terminate, both victory kinds occur,
// invariants hold, AI turn-time budget.

// well inside each other's personal-space radius now, which is the

// actually objected to: no violent, bounce-like single-tick velocity
// change. `maxDeltaSpeedPerTick` tracks the largest one-tick change in
// any living ship's speed across a dense multi-ship convergence — normal
// tuning measures a few units/s per tick (smooth); the old strong-
// avoidance tuning would have produced spikes an order of magnitude
// larger the instant two ships got close.
