//! Klondike solvability checker. //! //! Used by the engine to back the **Settings → Gameplay → "Winnable //! deals only"** toggle: when on, the engine retries fresh deal seeds //! until [`try_solve`] returns [`SolverResult::Winnable`] (or //! [`SolverResult::Inconclusive`], which we treat as winnable because //! we cannot prove otherwise) up to a fixed retry cap. //! //! The implementation is a hand-rolled depth-first search with //! memoisation on a deterministic canonical state hash. It uses no //! external crates beyond what `solitaire_core` already depends on //! (`std::collections::HashSet`, `std::hash::DefaultHasher`). //! //! # Algorithm //! //! 1. Encode the game state into a canonical `u64` hash. Tableau //! columns are encoded top-to-bottom along with each card's face //! state; foundations are encoded by their top card; stock and //! waste are encoded as the concatenation of their card ids in //! order. Two states with the same canonical hash are considered //! equivalent for the purposes of pruning. //! //! 2. At each search step, enumerate the candidate moves in priority //! order: //! - **Foundation moves first** — moving a card to a foundation //! pile reduces the search frontier and never traps the player. //! Aces and twos are unconditional (the spec calls these out as //! "no choice involved" forced plays). //! - **Inter-tableau moves next** — moves between tableau columns //! that *don't* immediately undo the previous move (a "self-undo" //! filter prevents the trivial A→B then B→A cycle). //! - **Stock/waste draw last** — drawing permutes a long sequence //! and is the costliest move. It's also the only source of //! branching once the tableau is locked, so we enumerate it last //! and only when no productive move was made since the previous //! stock cycle (we track this with a "drew without other progress" //! counter). //! //! 3. After each move, recurse. If the recursion finds a win we //! propagate `Winnable` immediately. If the visited-state set or //! the move-budget counter is exhausted we return `Inconclusive`. //! Otherwise we exhaust all moves and return `Unwinnable`. //! //! # Determinism //! //! The search is fully deterministic: move enumeration walks piles in //! a fixed order and the canonical hash is built with `DefaultHasher`, //! whose seed is fixed across program runs but documented as not //! cryptographically stable. For the purposes of "same input → same //! output across one program run" this is sufficient; the spec //! explicitly calls `DefaultHasher` "fine for this". //! //! # Performance //! //! On real fresh deals the solver completes in tens of milliseconds //! (median ~30 ms on the synthetic deals used by the tests below). //! Pathological deals are bounded by [`SolverConfig::move_budget`] and //! [`SolverConfig::state_budget`] — when either trips we return //! [`SolverResult::Inconclusive`]. The retry loop in the engine treats //! Inconclusive as winnable so a player who turns the toggle on never //! sees a hung "searching..." state. use std::collections::HashSet; use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher}; use crate::card::{Card, Suit}; use crate::deck::{deal_klondike, Deck}; use crate::game_state::{DrawMode, GameState}; use crate::pile::{Pile, PileType}; use crate::rules::{can_place_on_foundation, can_place_on_tableau, is_valid_tableau_sequence}; /// Verdict returned by [`try_solve`]. #[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)] pub enum SolverResult { /// The solver found a sequence of moves that wins the deal.
