- Add compact storage package: codec, records, hydrate, replay blobs, cache.
- Running games write game_turns and snake_states keyed by integer ids.
- Encode moves as 1-byte codes and bodies as head plus step codes.
- Store food and hazards only when they changed since the previous turn.
- Strip reasoning fields that duplicate stored values and restore on read.
- Pack finished games into one zstd blob per game in game_replays.
- Merge late turns into packed blobs during the stale-game sweep.
- Extract SQLite and PostgreSQL schemas into dedicated modules.
- Add read/import game bundle and list_game_ids to the backend template.
- Add legacy readers and converter for the old turns/snake_turns layout.
- Add migrate_gameplay_to_compact.py with in-place or cross-DB migration.
- Verify every migrated game and keep legacy rows on failure.
- Support --since, --minimum-quality and guarded --drop-legacy.
- Add just recipe migrate-gameplay-postgres.
- Rewrite merge script to copy game by game via backend bundles.
- Move benchmark state loading into benchmark_states for both backends.
- Update PostgreSQL cleanup script to the new replay tables.
- Drop sqlite-zstd build stages from the Dockerfile.
- Remove old migration scripts, normalized_turn and their tests.
- Add tests for compact storage, schema, legacy migration and PostgreSQL.
- Document the compact layout and migration workflow in the README.

- Reward safe perimeter lanes and bump Prism to version 1.5.0.
- Add backend, migration, dashboard, and perimeter regression coverage.
- Split active strategies, reusable engine code, core classes, and legacy snakes.
- Replace implicit snake imports with explicit module registrations.
- Extract Prism duel, spatial, and survival behavior into focused mixins.
- Improve duel scoring with food races, pressure, caches, and depth metrics.
- Add deterministic arena scenarios and paired seeded engine tournaments.
- Expand benchmark telemetry and bump Prism to version 1.3.0.
- Update documentation and tests for the new package layout and tooling.
- Share duel search contexts and transpositions across candidate moves.
- Add aspiration windows, principal variation ordering, and body caches.
