All units rush the nearest enemy core via BFS, ignoring enemy units
and economy. No perimeter defense — full commitment to core destruction.
Targets persist across turns for consistent pathing.

Mobile archetype that never camps. Picks a target region every ~20 turns
(random corner, opposite side, or enemy core), migrates all units toward
it, briefly engages enemies on arrival, then relocates again.

Implements a hit-and-run strategy that scouts for lone enemy bots,
attacks from flanking positions, then retreats after 1-2 engagement
turns to avoid reinforcements. Defends own core when under pressure.

Formation-based combat bot that moves all units as a coordinated group:
- Circular mean centroid computation (toroidal-aware)
- Hexagonal packing formation slots with greedy slot assignment
- Rally mode when mean distance from centroid exceeds 3 cells
- Scored movement: formation cohesion + advance toward enemy concentration
- Attack range bonus when engaging enemies in formation
- Self-collision avoidance via claimed destination tracking
- 10 unit tests covering all core algorithms

Exploration-maximizing bot that maintains per-cell last-seen tick counters,
moves toward the stalest unobserved territory using forward-cone staleness
scoring, flees from enemies within extended combat range, and distributes
multiple bots across angular zones for maximum map coverage.
Archetype: Low Aggression, Low Economy, High Exploration, Low Formation.

PacifistBot never attacks; it survives by maximizing distance from enemies
and retreating toward own core when cornered. Pure evasion strategy that
wins via opponent elimination by third parties.

Economy-maximizing bot that prioritizes energy collection and spawning
while avoiding combat entirely. Seeks nearest uncontested energy via BFS,
flees enemies within 3 cells, avoids contested energy tiles, and stays
near active cores for maximum spawn throughput. Includes 12 unit tests.

Core-defense strategy: bots patrol evenly-spaced slots around their
own core, intercept enemies entering the perimeter radius, and never
chase past the perimeter. Falls back to energy gathering when cores
are lost.
MAP-Elites profile: Low Aggression, Low Economy, Low Exploration, High Formation.
