refactor!: typed discriminators for InferenceError
Six of fifteen variants carried a `&'static str` discriminator, about
thirty magic strings between them, and the only thing a caller could do
with one was print it. Four new enums replace them:
Parameter 13 variants, replacing 9 strings in InvalidParameter
Shape 4 variants, replacing 10 in MismatchedShape
OutcomeKind 2 variants, replacing WrongOutcomeKind's three fields
CompetitorField 2 variants, replacing ConflictingCompetitorConfig's
`InvalidProbability` folds into `InvalidParameter` as
`Parameter::PDraw`. It was a bespoke variant for one scalar while every
other scalar shared `InvalidParameter`, and it omitted the parameter
name — so the same parameter had two mechanisms.
`JointUnavailable { reason: &'static str }` splits into `EmptyHistory`,
`JointRequiresScoredEvents` and `NotPositiveDefinite`. The three are
conditions a caller branches on differently — add events, use
`predict_win_probabilities`, or reconsider the priors — and telling them
apart used to mean string-matching English. One test already proved the
distinction was load-bearing: the blanket conversion mapped the
empty-history case onto the ranked one and `an_empty_history_has_no_joint`
caught it immediately.
`NonFiniteResult` splits into `NonFiniteStep { context, step }` and
`NonFiniteSkill { mu, sigma }`. One `step: (f64, f64)` field was
carrying a sweep step from `converge` and a skill's own moments from a
prediction — two situations in one variant, and a field name that could
only be right for one of them.
`InvalidParameter { name: "beta with point-mass skills" }` becomes
`NoPerformanceVariance`. It was never a parameter out of range: both
values are individually valid and it is their combination that leaves
nothing varying.
Three `Display` impls did not meet the standard the others set, and the
typed data is what makes fixing them possible:
before drift variance is invalid: NaN
after drift variance must be finite and non-negative (got NaN)
before kinds: expected length 3, got 2
after the outcome describes a different number of teams than the
event has: expected 3, got 2
before Game::ranked: expected Outcome::Ranked, got Outcome::Scored
after expected Outcome::Ranked, got Outcome::Scored; call
Game::scored for a scored outcome
`Parameter::range()` states each parameter's actual bounds, which no
`&'static str` name could have. `error::message_tests` renders every one
and asserts each is a sentence rather than a label, and that the three
above now carry a range or a next step.
The four internal `MismatchedShape` kinds — `results`, `times`, `kinds`,
and the weights array — collapse to `Shape::Internal`, whose `Display`
says plainly that reaching it is a bug in this crate. They are checks on
`add_events_with_prior`'s own parallel arrays and are unreachable
through the public API; they stay checked rather than becoming
`debug_assert!`s, because release is where this crate's defects hide.
Closes #74.
