//! Input validation must hold in **release**, where `debug_assert!` is gone.
//!
//! The engine guards itself with `debug_assert!`, which documents invariants
//! but vanishes in the profile users actually ship. Anything reachable from the
//! public API has to be rejected with an `InferenceError` instead, at the
//! boundary, rather than becoming NaN or an out-of-bounds panic deep inside
//! `run_chain`.
//!
//! `GameOptions` and `ConvergenceOptions` both have public fields, so the
//! eager asserts on `HistoryBuilder` do not cover the `Game` constructors —
//! a caller can build the options struct directly.
