Stage 2: engine package over scrabble-solver (registry, bag, Game, replay)
backend/internal/engine wraps the sibling scrabble-solver library in-process:

- Registry: versioned DAWG load via dafsa.Load, keyed by (variant, dict_version),
  latest-per-variant; English / Russian / Эрудит handled uniformly.
- Bag: own deterministic, seeded tile bag with Draw + Return (for exchanges),
  since the solver's self-play bag cannot return tiles.
- Game: pure rules engine — deal, play/pass/exchange/resign, refill, per-move
  scoring, turn order, and end-condition detection (empty bag + empty rack, six
  scoreless turns, resignation) with end-game rack adjustment.
- decode/ReplayBoard: dictionary-independent MoveRecords and board replay via
  scrabble.Apply (no internal/encoding), realising ARCHITECTURE §9.1.

Wiring: go.work gains "replace scrabble-solver => ../scrabble-solver"; backend
requires scrabble-solver (placeholder) and github.com/iliadenisov/dafsa directly.
Both Go CI workflows clone the public solver sibling (master HEAD, no token) and
set BACKEND_DICT_DIR.

Docs: ARCHITECTURE §5/§14, TESTING engine layer, backend README, and PLAN
refinements + deferred TODOs (publish/version solver; split engine vs dictionary
generator).

# Scrabble Game — Testing
How the project is tested and the gate every stage must pass. Read before adding
tests or touching CI.
## Layers
- **Go unit tests** — table-driven where it helps; `testing` + standard library.
Every functional change ships with regression coverage. Run:
`go test -count=1 ./backend/...` (the module list grows with the workspace).
- **Integration** *(Stage 1+)* — Postgres-backed tests behind the `integration`
build tag spin a throwaway `postgres:17-alpine` via `testcontainers-go`. They
live in `backend/internal/inttest` and run with
`go test -tags=integration -count=1 -p=1 ./backend/...` (needs Docker), guarded
by a separate CI workflow (`integration.yaml`; Ryuk disabled, serial). Slow.
- **UI** *(introduced with the UI in Stage 7)* — Vitest (unit) + Playwright
(e2e), mirroring the chosen plain-Svelte + Vite toolchain.
- **Engine** *(Stage 2+)* — correctness of scoring and move generation is owned
by `scrabble-solver`'s own GCG-backed tests. `backend/internal/engine` adds, on
top of the embedded solver: per-variant smoke tests (load all three committed
DAWGs and validate a known word, including Эрудит), bag draw/return determinism
and exchange accounting, the `Game` end-conditions (empty bag with an empty
rack, and six scoreless turns) with end-game rack scoring, and
**dictionary-independent history replay** (`ReplayBoard` reproduces a full
greedy game's final board from decoded records alone). The engine tests read
the DAWGs from `BACKEND_DICT_DIR` (or the sibling `scrabble-solver` checkout)
and fail loudly when it is absent. The 24-hour timeout / auto-resign and robot
balance/margin regression tests arrive with those stages.
## Principles
- A green run must not depend on cached state: use `-count=1` in CI.
- Tests that need infrastructure fail loudly (`t.Fatal`) when it is unavailable
rather than silently skipping coverage.
- No network or real platform calls in unit tests; validate platform
credentials behind an interface seam and test with fixtures.
## Per-stage CI gate
Every completed stage is exercised on `gitea.iliadenisov.ru` before it is marked
done in [`../PLAN.md`](../PLAN.md):
1. Commit the stage on its `feature/*` branch.
2. Push to `origin`.
3. Watch the run to completion — never hand-roll a poll loop:
`python3 ~/.claude/bin/gitea-ci-watch.py` (launch in the background).
4. Only after every workflow that fired is green may the stage be marked done.
