logaritmiskandClaude Opus 5 e4a68ba1a7 fix!: per-key queries report unknown keys instead of a plausible constant
Two accessors answered a question about a key the history had never seen
with a well-formed value indistinguishable from a real answer.

`log_evidence_for` filter_map'd unknown keys away. An empty target list
means "no restriction" downstream, so a list of *entirely* unknown keys
returned the whole-history evidence: measured on a two-cohort fixture,
`log_evidence_for(["typo"])` returned exactly `log_evidence()`. On the
one workload it is documented for — leave-one-out cross-validation —
that is the un-held-out score, a plausible number that silently
invalidates the comparison it was computed for. It now returns
`Err(UnknownKey)` naming the offending position.

`learning_curve` and `filtered_learning_curve` returned an empty `Vec`
both for a typo'd key and for a competitor who is registered but has not
played yet. They now return `Option`, so `None` is "never heard of it"
and `Some(vec![])` is "known, no appearances".

Tests carry a control case in each direction, so they cannot pass by
everything returning the same thing.

Closes #66, closes #70.

logaritmiskandClaude Opus 5 85c4d0d87d fix!: correct eight wrong # Errors sections and seal the error variants
Documentation (#78). Every item below was measured against the code
rather than read:

- `expected_information_gain` and `predict_ranking` had `# Errors`
  immediately followed by `# Preconditions`, with the error list stranded
  at the bottom of the latter — rustdoc rendered a BLANK Errors section on
  both. The heading now sits with its content.
- `predict_outcome`, `predict_ranking` and the free
  `expected_information_gain` all omitted `GridTooCoarse`.
- `predict_margin` claimed `JointUnavailable` "if the LATEST slice holds
  ranked events". Measured with an early ranked slice and a late scored
  one: it fails. The condition is *any* slice.
- `add_events` documented three errors and can return five more; it also
  claimed a weights `MismatchedShape` that is unreachable through it,
  since weights arrive one-per-`Member`. That check belongs to
  `EventBuilder::weights`, and the doc now says so.
- `converge` and `converge_partial` both omitted the drift-variance
  `InvalidParameter`.

`History` gains a hand-written `Debug` (#76). Summarising, not
exhaustive — a derived one would print every competitor's skill at every
slice. It exists because without it a consumer cannot `#[derive(Debug)]`
on any struct holding a `History`, which is how both known consumers
store one.

`#[non_exhaustive]` on all 17 `InferenceError` struct variants and on
`Outcome::Scored` (#74). The enum carried the attribute; no variant did,
so adding a field to any of them — and downstream construction of any of
them — were both in the public contract. This crate added two variants in
two days.

The options structs are deliberately NOT sealed. `ConvergenceOptions` and
`GameOptions` are constructed by struct literal at 65 sites of which only
8 use `..default()`, and specifying all three convergence fields is a
natural complete statement rather than a partial one. That is a real
trade-off rather than an oversight, and it is left as a decision on #74.

Also spells `UnknownKeys::Reject` explicitly at both sites that
wildcarded it. `#[non_exhaustive]` on your own enum gives no exhaustiveness
safety net if you then match `_`.

Sealing the variants pushed ten test sites from constructing errors to
`matches!`, which is the better assertion anyway — an `assert_eq!` against
a constructed error breaks whenever a field is added, which is the exact
fragility the attribute exists to prevent.

BREAKING CHANGE: `InferenceError`'s struct variants and `Outcome::Scored`
are `#[non_exhaustive]` — downstream patterns need `..` and downstream
construction is no longer possible.

logaritmiskandClaude Opus 5 8dff7513f7 fix!: seal ConstantDrift's field so gamma can be validated
`gamma` enters only as `gamma * gamma`, so the sign was squared away:
measured against the old public-field form, `ConstantDrift(-0.0833)`
produced results bit identical to `ConstantDrift(0.0833)`. The sign was
neither rejected nor honoured — it vanished.

It could not be checked while the field was a public tuple position,
because there was nothing to intercept. Validating inside
`variance_for_elapsed` would have been worse: it runs in the sweep, so a
construction-time mistake would panic mid-inference, and `Gaussian::from_ms`
is a worked example of why that is the wrong place — rejecting NaN there
turned the NonFiniteResult reporting path into a crash.

So `ConstantDrift::new` is the only way in and it checks, with `gamma()`
to read the value back. 129 call sites rewritten across src, tests,
benches, examples and the README. The dated plan and spec documents under
docs/superpowers are left alone: they record what was built at the time,
and rewriting them would falsify that.

tests/constructor_validation.rs is the more valuable half. This defect
class was closed three times in one session and reopened twice, because
each fix validated the layer it had just touched and inferred the rest —
`HistoryBuilder`, then `Game`'s own entry points, then the constructors
beneath both. A per-site fix cannot notice the site nobody thought of, so
that file enumerates every public entry point taking a magnitude and
asserts each refuses negative and non-finite values.

It found an eleventh defect on its first run: `HistoryBuilder::score_sigma`
accepted infinity, because `inf > 0.0` is true and the assert only tested
positivity. Fixed, and its own `should_panic` message updated to match.

`Gaussian::from_ms` is deliberately exempt from the non-finite half, for
the reason above: a broken fit produces a NaN sigma legitimately and
`converge` must be allowed to report it.

The convergence-level drift-variance check stays and is now tested through
a custom `Drift` implementation, since `ConstantDrift` can no longer reach
it. That check is the only thing standing between a third-party `Drift`
and a NaN fit.

BREAKING CHANGE: `ConstantDrift`'s field is private. Replace
`ConstantDrift(x)` with `ConstantDrift::new(x)`, and `drift().0` with
`drift().gamma()`. `HistoryBuilder::score_sigma` now rejects infinity.

Closes #65

logaritmiskandClaude Opus 5 911b48faba feat: add EventBuilder::members for per-member configuration
`EventBuilder` could set weights and nothing else, so `prior` and
`drift_scale` were reachable only through the typed
`Event`/`Team`/`Member` shape plus `add_events`. Which ingestion route a
competitor arrived through decided whether it could be configured.

`members(...)` takes `Member` values directly, so `Member`'s own builder
expresses everything. `team(...)` stays the common case.

One escape hatch rather than `priors` and `drift_scales` setters beside
`weights`, as the issue suggested and then argued against itself: a
parallel array per field means a parallel length check per field, and
each one is a new way to get the lengths wrong. `Member` already has a
builder; this just lets the fluent path reach it.

`record_winner`/`record_draw` are deliberately left alone. They are the
two-argument convenience path, and extending them would be a breaking
signature change. The issue's reason for wanting them extended has also
weakened: it said a competitor arriving through them was "permanently
stuck on the history defaults", and since 8c087ad that is no longer true
— a later `add_events` carrying the `Member` refits the whole history.
Measured, late configuration through that route reaches mu 40.000000000,
identical to configuring from the start.
