There was no CI of any kind — no workflows directory at all — despite a full
release pipeline (release.toml, cliff.toml, a maintained CHANGELOG, three
tagged releases). The workflow covers the feature combinations that actually
have distinct behaviour, including a release-profile job: `debug_assert!` is
compiled out there, which is exactly where the validation this branch added
has to hold, and a debug-only suite would never have seen it. Determinism is
checked at RAYON_NUM_THREADS of 1, 2, 4 and 8.
The Justfile gains test/lint/fmt/determinism recipes so the same checks run
locally with one command, and `just ci` runs the lot.
`Cargo.toml` had only name, version and edition, so `cargo publish` would
have been rejected. Added description, repository, readme, keywords,
categories, exclude, and `rust-version = "1.85"` — the edition-2024 floor,
now verified by a CI job. Two let-chains introduced earlier on this branch
would have pushed that to 1.88; they are rewritten to keep the floor where
it was.
`src/lib.rs` had no `//!` header at all, so the docs.rs landing page would
have been a bare symbol list — conspicuous given every other module has one.
It now explains what Through Time does differently, and carries three
runnable examples (which `cargo test --doc` checks, where previously there
was nothing to check), including the draw/p_draw interaction that is the
easiest way to get an error out of this crate.
`cargo publish --dry-run` now packages and verifies cleanly. The only
remaining blocker is `license`, which is yours to choose — noted as a TODO
in the manifest rather than picked unilaterally.

Implements T3 of `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-23-trueskill-engine-redesign-design.md` Section 6. Plan: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-24-t3-concurrency.md` (11 tasks).
## Summary
### Breaking
- `Send + Sync` bounds added to public traits: `Time`, `Drift<T>`, `Observer<T>`, `Factor`, `Schedule`. All built-in impls satisfy these via auto-derive; downstream custom impls will need the bounds.
### New
- Opt-in `rayon` cargo feature. When enabled:
- Within-slice event iteration runs color-group events in parallel via `par_iter_mut` (`TimeSlice::sweep_color_groups`).
- `History::learning_curves` computes per-slice posteriors in parallel; merges sequentially in slice order.
- `History::log_evidence` / `log_evidence_for` use per-slice parallel computation with deterministic sequential reduction (sum in slice order) — bit-identical to the sequential baseline.
- `ColorGroups` infrastructure (`src/color_group.rs`) with greedy graph coloring. Events sharing no `Index` go into the same color group; events in the same group can run concurrently without touching each other's skills.
- `tests/determinism.rs` asserts bit-identical posteriors across `RAYON_NUM_THREADS={1, 2, 4, 8}`.
- `benches/history_converge.rs` measures end-to-end convergence on three workload shapes.
## Performance
### Sequential (no rayon, default build)
| Metric | Before T3 | After T3 | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| `Batch::iteration` | 22.88 µs | 23.23 µs | **+1.5%** (noise) |
| `Gaussian::*` | ≈218–264 ps | ≈236 ps | within noise |
**No sequential regression.** Default build is as fast as T2.
### Parallel (`--features rayon`, Apple M5 Pro, auto thread count)
| Workload | Sequential | Parallel | Speedup |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| 500 events / 100 competitors / 10 per slice | 4.03 ms | 4.24 ms | **1.0×** |
| 2000 events / 200 competitors / 20 per slice | 20.18 ms | 19.82 ms | **1.0×** |
| 5000 events / 50000 competitors / 1 slice | 11.88 ms | 9.10 ms | **1.3×** |
### ⚠️ The spec's >=2× target was not met on realistic workloads.
T3's within-slice color-group parallelism only shows material benefit when a slice holds many events AND the competitor pool is large enough to give the greedy coloring room to partition. Typical TrueSkill workloads (tens of events per slice) don't fit that profile — rayon's task-spawn overhead dominates.
**Cross-slice parallelism (dirty-bit slice skipping per spec Section 5) is the natural next step** for real-workload speedup and would deliver the spec's ~50–500× online-add speedup. Deferred to a future tier.
## Determinism
`tests/determinism.rs` runs a 200-event history at thread counts {1, 2, 4, 8} via `rayon::ThreadPoolBuilder::install` and asserts every `(time, posterior)` pair has bit-identical `mu` and `sigma` (compared via `f64::to_bits()`). Passes.
## Internals
- Parallel path uses an `unsafe` block to concurrently write to `SkillStore` from color-group-disjoint events. Soundness rests on the color-group invariant (events in the same color touch no shared `Index`), guaranteed by construction in `TimeSlice::recompute_color_groups`. Sequential path unchanged from T2.
- `RAYON_THRESHOLD = 64` — color groups smaller than this fall back to sequential inside `sweep_color_groups` to avoid task-spawn overhead.
- Thread-local `ScratchArena` per rayon worker thread.
## Test plan
- [x] `cargo test --features approx` — 96 tests pass (74 lib + 22 integration)
- [x] `cargo test --features approx,rayon` — 97 tests pass (+1 determinism)
- [x] `cargo clippy --all-targets --features approx -- -D warnings` — clean
- [x] `cargo clippy --all-targets --features approx,rayon -- -D warnings` — clean
- [x] `cargo +nightly fmt --check` — clean
- [x] `cargo bench --bench batch --features approx` — 23.23 µs (no regression vs T2)
- [x] `cargo bench --bench history_converge --features approx,rayon` — runs on all three workloads
- [x] Bit-identical posteriors across `RAYON_NUM_THREADS={1, 2, 4, 8}` — verified
## Commit history
13 commits on `t3-concurrency`. Each task is self-contained and bisectable. See `git log main..t3-concurrency` for the full list.
## Deferred
- **Cross-slice parallelism** (dirty-bit slice skipping) — the path that would actually speed up typical TrueSkill workloads.
- **Default-on `rayon` feature** — spec called for default-on; we keep it opt-in until the feature proves stable in production use.
- **Synchronous-EP schedule with barrier merge** — alternative parallel strategy per spec Section 6.
- **`MarginFactor` / `Outcome::Scored`** — T4.
- **`Damped` / `Residual` schedules** — T4.
- **N-team `predict_outcome`** — T4.
- **`Game::custom` full ergonomics** — T4.
