Samuel Bouchet 672b831fc1 Add Pion piece, surplus stock, and levels 4-6 
- Pion (Pawn): orthogonal range 1, social status 1 (lowest), green color
- All existing levels get surplus stock including pawns for player choice
- Level 4 "Le Carrefour": 8x8, dual cargo diagonal routes, center wall block
- Level 5 "Le Labyrinthe": 8x6, wall corridors, knights essential for shortcuts
- Level 6 "Trois Royaumes": 10x8, 3 productions + 3 demands, full network puzzle
- Production interval concept removed (all produce every turn)
- GDD updated with Pion section and 6 level descriptions

Chessistics — Prototype Roadmap

Phase 1: Core solvability (DONE)

  • Black Box Sim pattern: commands self-apply via DoApply()/AssertApplicationConditions()
  • 3 piece types: Rook (orthogonal range 2), Bishop (diagonal range 2), Knight (L-jump)
  • Relay chain mechanic with shared relay points (collision-free alternating)
  • Transfer system: production → pieces → demands, 4-adjacency, participation tracking
  • Victory/defeat: all demands met vs deadline expired

Phase 2: Cargo-type aware transfers (DONE)

  • CargoFilter property on PieceState: optional CargoType? restricting accepted cargo
  • Auto-assigned at placement via relay chain tracing (adjacency to production, then shared relay points with filtered pieces)
  • TransferResolver enforces filter: receivers with mismatched CargoFilter are skipped
  • Forward-direction sorting uses cargo-type-aware MinDistanceToProduction to avoid wrong sorting when multiple productions exist
  • Level 3 restored to dual-cargo (Wood+Stone) with 10R+2K stock
  • GDD stock corrections: Level 2 = 6R+1B, Level 3 = 10R+2K
  • 60 tests passing including 2 new CargoFilter tests

Phase 3: Pion, surplus stock, levels 4-6 (DONE)

  • Pion: orthogonal range 1, status 1 (lowest), cheap relay maillon
  • Surplus stock on all levels (more pieces than minimum solution)
  • Levels 4-6: Le Carrefour (8x8), Le Labyrinthe (8x6), Trois Royaumes (10x8)
  • Production interval removed: all productions fire every turn
  • GDD updated with Pion, 6 levels

Phase 5: Network levels and Dame (Queen)

Goal: Open-ended logistics puzzles with interconnected supply networks.

  • Multiple productions feeding multiple demands through shared infrastructure.
  • Dame piece: combines Rook + Bishop movement (range 2, all 8 directions).
  • Powerful but expensive — forces cost/benefit tradeoffs.
  • Larger boards (12x12+) with complex wall configurations.
  • Potential for player-designed levels (level editor data format).

Phase 6: Godot integration

Goal: Playable visual prototype.

  • Board renderer: grid, walls, buildings, pieces.
  • Drag-and-drop piece placement during Edit phase.
  • Step/play/pause simulation controls.
  • Event visualization: cargo movement, transfers, delivery animations.
  • Victory/defeat screens with Metrics display.
