- Add read-only gameplay statistics with filters and opponent comparisons.
- Report move-trace latency percentiles and external timeout counts.
- Pair engine latency with the preceding turn to separate timing stages.

- Bump Zenith to 1.2.0 and document the fix and snake-stats command.
- Cover statistics, trace aggregation, rollout depth, and verdict budgets.
- Read board state through the GameBoard interface used by the server.
- Record one turn-indexed calculation history entry per move.
- Try alternative food when nearer targets are blocked or unreachable.
- Handle empty food lists without relying on exception fallback.
- Normalize flood-fill coordinates and count reachable cells correctly.
- Reject blocked destinations before evaluating escape space.
- Prefer legal fallback moves when no region meets the space threshold.
- Remove a distance tie-breaker that mistook free cells for snake bodies.
- Align stale tests with current methods and tuple-based path results.
- Cover runtime moves, food fallback, coordinate order, and dead ends.
- 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.

- Add backend, migration, dashboard, and perimeter regression coverage.
- Cache occupancy bitboards for repeated multiplayer rollout positions.
- Memoize position evaluations to avoid duplicate flood-fill calculations.
- Reuse shared values while ranking simultaneous enemy responses.
- Include evaluation hits in Prism rollout telemetry.
- Document the optimization and bump Prism to version 1.4.0.
- Split active strategies, reusable engine code, core classes, and legacy snakes.

- Expose search metrics, document benchmarking, and bump Prism to 1.2.0.
- Resolve selected moves and enemy replies on the same simulated turn.
- Add an Apex candidate hook and bump the Prism snake to version 1.1.0.
- Rebuild benchmark states from normalized turn data when snapshots are empty.
- Synthesize missing game snake identities during legacy database migration.
