Collect GameState snapshots during match execution (one per turn), then
run 100 random-play rollouts per snapshot post-match to compute per-turn
win probabilities and detect critical moments (|delta| > 0.15). Results
are stored in the replay JSON as win_prob and critical_moments fields.

Add Go implementations of 5 strategy bots directly into the engine:
- GathererBot: prioritizes energy collection, avoids combat
- RusherBot: aggressively rushes enemy cores
- GuardianBot: defends cores with cautious expansion
- SwarmBot: formation-based coordinated movement
- HunterBot: targets isolated enemy units
Update acb-local with bot selection flags:
- -bot0/-bot1: select bot strategies
- -list-bots: list available strategies
- Default to gatherer vs rusher for interesting gameplay
Enables demo replays with real strategic behavior without K8s infrastructure.

Replace broken Taylor series sin/cos approximations with math.Sin/math.Cos
in both engine/match.go and cmd/acb-mapgen. The Taylor series produced
incorrect results for angles > π, causing wrong positions in 3+ player maps.
Upgrade map generator wall placement from random scatter to cellular
automata (B5/S4 rule, 4 iterations) with rotational symmetry enforcement
and connectivity validation. Add comprehensive mapgen tests and dominance
win condition tests.

- Add connectivity.go: BFS-based map connectivity validation with retry
- Update mapgen to use connectivity checking by default
- Add determinism_test.go: property-based tests for reproducibility
- Same seed produces identical replays
- Turn execution is deterministic
- Grid operations are deterministic
- Combat resolution is deterministic
- Full 500-turn match validation
- All 32 tests pass
- Update PROGRESS.md: Phase 1 complete
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add engine package with toroidal grid, game state, turn execution
- Implement focus-fire combat resolution with simultaneous deaths
- Add fog of war visibility filtering for bot state
- Implement energy collection (contested resources denied)
- Add bot spawning at active cores
- Implement win conditions: elimination, draw, dominance, turns
- Add replay JSON writer for match recording
- Add match runner with concurrent bot communication
- Add CLI tools: acb-local (match runner), acb-mapgen (map generator)
- Add comprehensive unit tests (26 tests passing)
Exit criteria met: can run complete 500-turn matches and produce valid replays
