## Unreleased — T2 new API surface

Breaking: every renamed type and the new public API land together per
`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-23-trueskill-engine-redesign-design.md`
Section 7 "T2".

### Breaking renames

- `Batch` → `TimeSlice`
- `Player` → `Rating` (and the `.player` field on `Competitor` is now `.rating`)
- `Agent` → `Competitor`
- `IndexMap` → `KeyTable`
- `History` field `.batches` → `.time_slices`

### New types

- `Time` trait with `Untimed` ZST and `i64` impls (generic time axis).
- `Drift<T: Time>` — generified from the old `Drift` trait.
- `Event<T, K>`, `Team<K>`, `Member<K>` — typed bulk-ingest event shape.
- `Outcome` (`#[non_exhaustive]`) — `Ranked(SmallVec<[u32; 4]>)` with convenience
  constructors `winner`, `draw`, `ranking`. `Scored` lands in T4.
- `Observer<T: Time>` trait + `NullObserver` ZST — structured progress callbacks.
- `ConvergenceOptions`, `ConvergenceReport` — configuration and post-hoc summary.
- `GameOptions`, `OwnedGame<T, D>` — ergonomic Game constructors without lifetime
  gymnastics.
- `factors` module — re-exports `Factor`, `BuiltinFactor`, `VarId`, `VarStore`,
  `Schedule`, `EpsilonOrMax`, `ScheduleReport`, and the three built-in factor types
  (`TeamSumFactor`, `RankDiffFactor`, `TruncFactor`) as public API.

### New `History` API

- Three-tier ingestion:
  - Tier 1 (bulk): `add_events<I: IntoIterator<Item = Event<T, K>>>(events) -> Result`
  - Tier 2 (one-off): `record_winner(&K, &K, T)`, `record_draw(&K, &K, T)`
  - Tier 3 (fluent): `event(T).team([...]).weights([...]).ranking([...]).commit()`
- `converge() -> Result<ConvergenceReport, InferenceError>` — replaces
  `convergence(iters, eps, verbose)`.
- `current_skill(&K)`, `learning_curve(&K)`, `learning_curves()` (now keyed on `K`).
- `log_evidence()` zero-arg, `log_evidence_for(&[&K])`.
- `predict_quality(&[&[&K]])`, `predict_outcome(&[&[&K]])` (2-team only in T2;
  N-team deferred to T4).
- `intern(&Q)` / `lookup(&Q)` expose the internal `KeyTable<K>` for power users.
- `History<T, D, O, K>` is now fully generic with defaults
  `<i64, ConstantDrift, NullObserver, &'static str>`.

### New `Game` API

- `Game::ranked(&[&[Rating]], Outcome, &GameOptions) -> Result<OwnedGame, _>`.
- `Game::one_v_one(&Rating, &Rating, Outcome) -> Result<(Gaussian, Gaussian), _>`.
- `Game::free_for_all(&[&Rating], Outcome, &GameOptions) -> Result<OwnedGame, _>`.
- `Game::custom(...)` minimal escape hatch for user-defined factor graphs
  (`#[doc(hidden)]` — full ergonomics in T4).
- `Game::log_evidence()` and `OwnedGame::log_evidence()` accessors.

### Errors

- `InferenceError` now carries `MismatchedShape { kind, expected, got }`,
  `InvalidProbability { value }`, `ConvergenceFailed { last_step, iterations }`,
  and `NegativePrecision { pi }`. Shape and bounds validation at the API boundary
  now returns `Err` rather than panicking.

### Removed (breaking)

- `History::convergence(iters, eps, verbose)` — use `converge()`.
- `HistoryBuilder::gamma(f64)` — use `.drift(ConstantDrift(g))`.
- `HistoryBuilder::time(bool)` and `History.time: bool` — use the `Time` type parameter.
- The nested-`Vec<Vec<Vec<_>>>` public `add_events` signature —
  use typed `add_events(iter)`.
- `learning_curves_by_index()` — use `learning_curves()`.

### Performance

`Batch::iteration` bench: **21.36 µs** (T1 was 22.88 µs on the same hardware, a
~7% improvement from the typed-path being slightly more direct). Gaussian
operations unchanged.

### Notes

- `Time = Untimed` returns `elapsed_to → 0` — **behavior change** from the old
  `time=false` mode, which implicitly generated `elapsed=1` per event via an
  `i64::MAX` sentinel in `Agent.last_time`. Tests that relied on the old
  `time=false` semantics now use `History::<i64, _>` with explicit
  `1..=n` timestamps.
