Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. + +**Goal:** Ship the T3 tier from `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-23-trueskill-engine-redesign-design.md` Section 6: `Send + Sync` bounds on public traits, color-group partitioning for within-slice event independence, and rayon-backed parallel paths on within-slice event iteration, `learning_curves`, and `log_evidence_for`. Deterministic posteriors across `RAYON_NUM_THREADS={1, 2, 4, 8}`; >2× speedup on an 8-core offline-converge benchmark. + +**Architecture:** Concurrency lands as a single feature flag (`rayon`, opt-in for T3; the spec suggests default-on but we defer that flip until the feature is proven stable). All parallel paths are hidden behind `#[cfg(feature = "rayon")]` with sequential fallbacks. Within-slice parallelism exploits graph coloring: events sharing no `Index` go into the same color group and run concurrently; across color groups, execution is strictly sequential. This preserves the exact async-EP semantics of T2 at any thread count. Reductions over f64 (`log_evidence_for`, `predict_quality`) use two-stage parallel-then-sequential-reduce so sums are bit-identical regardless of thread count. + +**Tech Stack:** Rust 2024 edition. New optional dependency: `rayon = "1"`. Builds on T2 (`History`, `Event`, `Outcome`, `Observer`, `factors` module). + +## Design decisions + +Called out explicitly so reviewers can override before execution: + +1. **Rayon is opt-in** (`cargo feature`), not default-on. Simplifies CI, keeps the default build lean. We flip to default-on in a follow-up once the feature is shown to be stable under field use. +2. **Greedy graph coloring** for the within-slice partition: for each event in ingestion order, assign the lowest color whose existing members share no `Index` with the event. Optimality is not the target — events per slice is small (~50), and greedy finishes in O(n·c·m) where c is colors and m is team size. Rebalancing is a T4 follow-up if benchmarks show it helps. +3. **Scope of parallelism:** within-slice color groups, `learning_curves`, `log_evidence_for`, `predict_quality`. Cross-slice iteration in `History::converge` stays **sequential** — the forward/backward sweep has true data dependencies across slices. Parallelizing across slices requires a separate algorithm (the spec's dirty-bit slice skipping, deferred to beyond-T3). +4. **Deterministic reductions:** `.par_iter().map().collect::>().into_iter().sum()` — each slice's contribution is computed in parallel, then summed sequentially in slice order. Per-element values are bit-identical to T2 (no extra floating-point additions reordered). +5. **Within-game inference stays sequential.** A single `Game::ranked` / `Game::likelihoods` call is too small (~20 µs) to amortize rayon's ~5 µs task overhead. The spec's table confirms this. + +## Acceptance criteria + +- `cargo test --features approx` — all tests pass (T2 baseline: 90 tests). +- `cargo test --features approx,rayon` — all tests pass; determinism tests across `RAYON_NUM_THREADS={1, 2, 4, 8}` produce bit-identical posteriors. +- `cargo clippy --all-targets --features approx -- -D warnings` — clean. +- `cargo clippy --all-targets --features approx,rayon -- -D warnings` — clean. +- `cargo +nightly fmt --check` — clean. +- `cargo bench --bench history_converge --features approx,rayon` — >2× speedup on an 8-core machine vs the sequential baseline. +- All public traits (`Time`, `Drift`, `Observer`, `Factor`, `Schedule`) have `Send + Sync` bounds; their blanket/default impls (`i64`, `Untimed`, `ConstantDrift`, `NullObserver`) all naturally satisfy the new bounds — no user code should need changes. +- The `rayon` feature is opt-in; default build without it compiles and passes all tests. + +## File map + +**New files:** + +| Path | Responsibility | +|---|---| +| `src/color_group.rs` | Greedy graph coloring for within-slice event partitioning. | +| `src/parallel.rs` | `#[cfg(feature = "rayon")]` helpers: `par_or_seq` iterators, ordered reductions, thread-count determinism tests. | +| `benches/history_converge.rs` | End-to-end convergence benchmark (scales to show rayon benefit). | +| `tests/determinism.rs` | Runs the same convergence with different `RAYON_NUM_THREADS` and asserts bit-identical posteriors. | + +**Modified:** + +| Path | What changes | +|---|---| +| `Cargo.toml` | Add `rayon = { version = "1", optional = true }`; declare `rayon` feature.

Those borrows conflict with the `&mut self.events[...]` borrow. Resolution: + +a) Pull the shared data (`&self.skills`, `&self.competitors`) into a local variable before the par_iter, so rayon's closure captures `&` not `&self`. + +b) If the existing per-event method ALSO mutates shared state (e.g., writes to a shared SkillStore), that's a problem — it breaks the color-disjoint-index guarantee. Read the current code carefully. If per-event iteration writes to skills for indices it owns, the color-group invariant makes this safe, but you'll need unsafe to express it.

Across colors, sequential ordering preserves async-EP semantics. Event::compute() is a pure function returning an owned EventOutput (new per-item likelihoods, evidence, and pre-computed new skill likelihoods). The apply phase runs sequentially after the parallel map, writing EventOutput values back to SkillStore and each event's item likelihoods. This avoids shared mutable state in the hot loop. Default build (no rayon) uses a sequential fallback that traverses the same color-group order — behaviorally identical to the parallel path. This keeps goldens bit-identical across feature configurations. Scenario 3b applied: event updates read from and write to the shared SkillStore, so the compute/apply split (Option A) was necessary.

Root cause: per-event allocations caused heavy allocator contention across rayon threads. Fixes: - Replace EventOutput/two-phase approach with direct unsafe parallel write. Events in a color group have disjoint agent index sets; concurrent writes to SkillStore land on different Vec slots — no data race. - Add RAYON_THRESHOLD=64: color groups below this size fall back to sequential to avoid rayon overhead on small slices. - Game internals: switch likelihoods/teams to SmallVec<[_;8]> to avoid heap allocation for ≤8-team / ≤8-player-per-team games. Add type aliases Teams and Likelihoods to satisfy clippy::type_complexity. - within_priors() and outputs() now return SmallVec; callers updated to use ranked_with_arena_sv() directly (avoiding Vec→SmallVec conversion).
