trueskill-tt/tests/convergence_strictness.rs

//! Stopping short of convergence is an error, not a flag on a success.
//!
//! A fit that hits `max_iter` is wrong by a little: every rating is finite,
//! the ordering looks sensible, and nothing in the numbers says they were
//! still moving. When that was `Ok` with `converged: false`, detecting it was
//! opt-in and `let _ = h.converge()` was the natural way to opt out — which is
//! how a real defect once hid in this crate's own suite.
