Two decisions taken before cutting 0.5.0.
#42 — the `Schedule` trait was public API the engine never called. Its
only call site was `Game::custom`, itself `#[doc(hidden)]`, and
`EpsilonOrMax` was never constructed anywhere. Removing that surface
showed the problem was larger than the issue described: with `custom`
gone, the compiler found `Factor`, `BuiltinFactor`, `RankDiffFactor` and
`TeamSumFactor` all dead too.
`Game::run_chain` drives a local `DiffFactor` enum and bypasses the
whole T1 abstraction — it has done since it was written. So this is not
just an unused extension point but the machinery it was built on, and
`CLAUDE.md` was documenting it as live architecture.
Removed: `graph` module, `Schedule`, `EpsilonOrMax`, `ScheduleReport`,
`Game::custom`, `Factor`, `BuiltinFactor`, `RankDiffFactor`,
`TeamSumFactor`. `TruncFactor`, `MarginFactor`, `VarStore` and `VarId`
stay — inference uses those. The measurement behind choosing removal
over wiring is in #42: the within-game loop converges in 1 to 8
iterations against a cap of 30, so a `Residual` schedule has no headroom
to reclaim, and `Damped` already shipped as `ConvergenceOptions::alpha`.
#20 — `Outcome::winner` panicking on an out-of-range index. Kept, and
the reasoning is now on the method. It is the only constructor here that
validates, which looks inconsistent until you try deferring like its
siblings: `winner(5, 2)` produces ranks `[1, 1]`, an all-tied draw that
ingestion accepts without complaint when `p_draw > 0`. Asking "team 5
won" and silently getting "everyone drew" is the exact failure this
crate keeps removing, so the check belongs where the mistake is.
Adds `Outcome::try_winner` for indices that are computed or parsed
rather than written literally, following the `new`/`try_new` convention.
That is additive; the panicking form stays because every call site in
this repo, its tests and its README passes literals, where a `?` would
be noise.
BREAKING CHANGE: the `graph` module and everything it exported are
removed, as are `Game::custom` and `ScheduleReport`.
Closes#42. Closes#20.
