- 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.
- Require Python 3.15 in project metadata, runtime pin, and Docker stages.
- Use lazy imports for database backends and type-only dependencies.
- Defer benchmark dependencies until their code paths are used.
- Rely on deferred annotations and use Path.info for file discovery.
- Accept BattlesnakeArena alongside BattlesnakeEngine on game endpoints.
- Advance quart_common for Python 3.15 and multi-agent validation.
- Add pytest development dependencies and refresh the uv lockfile.
- Test lazy backend loading, import order, and fresh file discovery.
- Document the runtime requirements and locked uv workflow.
BREAKING CHANGE: Python 3.15 or newer is required; earlier runtimes cannot parse the lazy import syntax.
- Stream compact live replay updates across local and clustered dashboards.
- Render responsive snake bodies as SVG paths with aligned custom icons.
- Add cache-busted assets, replay fallback routes, and live-follow playback.
- Support PostgreSQL benchmark sampling and idempotent SQLite migration.
- Add dry-run cleanup for old low-quality PostgreSQL replay payloads.
- Reward safe perimeter lanes and bump Prism to version 1.5.0.
- Add backend, migration, dashboard, and perimeter regression coverage.
- Preserve snake customizations across database migrations and merges.
- Lazily load optional storage backends for SQLite maintenance scripts.
- Match Apex territory and nearest-food tie-breaking semantics.
- Resolve duel occupancy after simultaneous movement and food growth.
- Recompute simulated head-to-head danger after body growth.
- Add regression coverage and declare the aiofiles dependency.
