What's new

This release covers two areas: a sharper quiescence search and a rebuilt static evaluation.
First, the quiescence search — the tactical search that runs at the leaves of the main search to resolve pending captures before the position is evaluated — was responsible for roughly 87% of all nodes searched, much of it spent on hopeless captures (a queen taking a defended pawn, a rook grabbing a piece and being lost immediately).

Second, the hand-crafted evaluation was rebuilt from a flat, hard-switched function into a tapered, component-based one — smoothly interpolated between middlegame and endgame by game phase — and gained full-board mobility, rook file evaluation, and drawn-endgame scaling.
