"""validate_engine.py — correctness validator for Chinese Standard Mahjong (MCR) engines
against the IJCAI-2026 Final Stage-2 golden game set (Dannibal/mcr-final2026-testset).
Two modes:
1. Self-test (validates the dataset itself against the reference replay semantics):
python3 validate_engine.py --self-test mcr_final2026_full.jsonl.gz [--jobs 64]
Replays every game with a pure-python reference checker (the corrected
"replay_harness2" semantics: PENG/CHI-embedded discards, live-discard GANG
discrimination, BUGANG handling, ron/zimo/qianggang terminal labeling) and
asserts, for every game:
- wall integrity (136 tiles, 4 of each of the 34 kinds)
- deal & draw order: seat s is dealt/draws from wall[34*s .. 34*s+33],
consumed from the BACK (index 34*s+33 first); tileCnt bookkeeping
- per-step hand/meld legality (every discard from hand, PENG needs 2 in
hand, CHI only from the left neighbour with both fillers in hand,
melded GANG needs 3, AnGang needs 4 after own draw, BUGANG upgrades an
existing PENG)
- claim resolution priority (HU > PENG/GANG > CHI) and actor rotation
- response<->event consistency (the granted claim's response string must
match the following judge event, including the embedded discard)
- terminal: ending classification (zimo/ron/draw + qianggang), fan_total
== sum(value*cnt) of the fan list, exact score arithmetic
(zimo: winner +3*(8+fan), others -(8+fan);
ron: winner +(3*8+fan), discarder -(8+fan), bystanders -8),
scores sum to 0, and agreement with the record's `expected` block.
2. Engine mode (validates YOUR engine — the product):
python3 validate_engine.py --engine mymodule:MyEngine mcr_final2026_golden.jsonl
Your engine must implement the interface below. The validator drives it
with the logged bot responses turn by turn and requires the engine to
reproduce the judge's protocol stream exactly: every per-seat request
string, every display event (claim resolutions, gang discrimination, win
detection) and the terminal fan/score result.
class MyEngine:
def reset(self, wall: list[str], quan: int, srand: int) -> dict:
'''Start a game. wall = 136 tiles; seat s draws from
wall[34*s : 34*s+34], back to front. Returns the first turn:
{"requests": {"0": "0 0 0", ...}, "display": {"action": "INIT", ...}}'''
def step(self, responses: dict[str, str]) -> dict:
'''Feed the four seats' response strings to the pending
requests; return the next turn dict:
{"requests": {...} or {}, "display": {...}}.
The terminal turn's display has action HU (with fan/fanCnt/
score) or HUANG.'''
By default `canHu` and `tileCnt` inside displays are compared too (they
are exactly reproducible); use --loose to compare only
action/player/tile/tileCHI/hand/fan/fanCnt/score.
`--demo` runs engine mode with a built-in engine that replays the stored
turns (interface smoke test).
