+# Rust Bitboard Perft Backend Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Add a required compiled Rust extension (`pgn2_native`) that
+exposes a magic-bitboard chess engine to Ruby, delivering fast perft
+numbers via a thin `PGN::Bitboard::Engine` API, shipped as prebuilt
+platform gems.
+
+**Architecture:** A Cargo workspace under `ext/pgn2_native/` with two
+crates — `pgn2-bitboard` (pure-Rust engine, no Ruby deps, tested via
+`cargo test` against published perft counts) and `pgn2_native` (a
+`cdylib` using `magnus` to bind `PGN::Bitboard::Engine`). The engine is
+keyed by FEN and is decoupled from the existing pure-Ruby 0x88
+`Board`/`Notation`/`MoveCalculator`, which stay byte-identical. Native
+gems are cross-compiled with `rake-compiler-dock` in CI and pushed to
+RubyGems on release so end users (and the chessellence Docker build)
+need no Rust toolchain.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 2021 edition, `magnus` 0.8 (Ruby bindings),
+`rb_sys` ~0.9.39 (build glue), `rake-compiler` ~1.2 + `rake-compiler-dock`
+~1.6 (packaging/cross-compile), RSpec (Ruby integration), `cargo test`
+(engine).
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- The existing pure-Ruby suite stays byte-identical and green; no change
+  to the 0x88 `Board` / `Notation` / `MoveCalculator`.
+- TDD on the Rust engine — published perft values *are* the tests.
+- Commit per task.
+- `Cargo.lock` is committed so source builds are reproducible
+  (gemspec uses `git ls-files`).
+- Only strings and integers cross the Ruby↔Rust boundary.
+- `Engine` wraps a Rust struct holding mutable game state behind
+  `magnus` `TypedData`; do not expose Ractor-shareable wrappers.
+- Magic-bitboard tables are validated at test time against a
+  ray-based reference generator (see Task 6 note on the "verified
+  magics" decision).

+
+## Phase A — Pure-Rust engine (`pgn2-bitboard`)
+
+All Phase A work is verified with `cargo test` from
+`ext/pgn2_native/`. No Ruby is involved.
+
+### Task 1: Workspace scaffolding
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `ext/pgn2_native/Cargo.toml`
+- Create: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/Cargo.toml`
+- Create: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/lib.rs`
+- Create: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2_native/Cargo.toml`
+- Create: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2_native/src/lib.rs`
+- Create: `ext/pgn2_native/extconf.rb`
+- Modify: `pgn2.gemspec`
+- Modify: `Rakefile`
+- Modify: `Gemfile`
+
+**Interfaces:** none yet (empty crates).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create the workspace manifest**
+
+`ext/pgn2_native/Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[workspace]
+members = ["pgn2-bitboard", "pgn2_native"]
+resolver = "2"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Create the engine crate manifest + stub**
+
+`ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "pgn2-bitboard"
+version = "0.1.0"
+edition = "2021"
+
+[lib]
+crate-type = ["lib"]
+```
+
+`ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/lib.rs`:
+```rust
+//! Pure-Rust bitboard chess engine. No Ruby dependency.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Create the binding crate manifest + stub**
+
+`ext/pgn2_native/pgn2_native/Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "pgn2_native"
+version = "0.1.0"
+edition = "2021"
+
+[lib]
+crate-type = ["cdylib"]
+
+[dependencies]
+magnus = "0.8"
+pgn2-bitboard = { path = "../pgn2-bitboard" }
+```
+
+`ext/pgn2_native/pgn2_native/src/lib.rs`:
+```rust
+use magnus::prelude::*;
+
+#[magnus::init]
+fn init(_ruby: &magnus::Ruby) -> magnus::Result<()> {
+    let _bb = _ruby
+        .define_module("PGN")?
+        .define_module("Bitboard")?;
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Create `extconf.rb`**
+
+`ext/pgn2_native/extconf.rb`:
+```ruby
+require "mkmf"
+require "rb_sys/mkmf"
+
+create_rust_makefile("pgn2_native/pgn2_native")
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Wire the gemspec**
+
+In `pgn2.gemspec`, inside the `Gem::Specification.new` block, add
+(after `spec.require_paths = ['lib']`):
+
+```ruby
+  spec.extensions = ["ext/pgn2_native/extconf.rb"]
+  spec.add_dependency "rb_sys", "~> 0.9.39"
+  spec.add_development_dependency "rake-compiler", "~> 1.2"
+  spec.add_development_dependency "rake-compiler-dock", "~> 1.6"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Add the compile task to the Rakefile**
+
+At the top of `Rakefile`, after `require 'bundler/gem_tasks'`:
+
+```ruby
+require 'rake/extensiontask'
+spec = Gem::Specification.load('pgn2.gemspec')
+Rake::ExtensionTask.new('pgn2_native', spec) do |ext|
+  ext.ext_dir = 'ext/pgn2_native'
+  ext.lib_dir = 'lib/pgn2_native'
+end
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Add dev gems to the Gemfile**
+
+Append to `Gemfile` (inside the dev group is fine, top-level also fine):
+
+```ruby
+gem "rb_sys", "~> 0.9.39", group: :development
+gem "rake-compiler", "~> 1.2", group: :development
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Verify the workspace builds and tests run**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+cd ext/pgn2_native && cargo test
+```
+Expected: both crates compile; `cargo test` reports 0 tests, no
+failures. Then `bundle install` to pull `rb_sys`/`rake-compiler`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add ext/pgn2_native Rakefile pgn2.gemspec Gemfile Gemfile.lock
+git commit -m "feat(native): scaffold Rust workspace + extconf + gemspec wiring"
+```
+

+
+### Task 2: Bitboard primitives
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/square.rs`
+- Modify: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/lib.rs`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: `pub struct Square(u8)` (`0..=63`) with `Square::from_algebraic(file, rank)`, `Square::new(u8)`, `file()`/`rank() -> u8`; `pub struct Bitboard(pub u64)` with `empty()`, `single(sq)`, `popcount()`, `is_empty()`, `iter()` (over set bits); `pub const FILES A..=H`, ranks `0..=7` with rank 0 = rank 1 (white's back rank).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Append to `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/square.rs`:
+
+```rust

+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
+
+```bash
+cd ext/pgn2_native && cargo test -p pgn2-bitboard square
+```
+Expected: FAIL (`Bitboard`/`Square` not defined).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the primitives**
+
+`ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/square.rs` (top, above the test mod):
+
+```rust

+- [ ] **Step 4: Re-export from `lib.rs`**
+
+Replace `src/lib.rs` contents with:
+```rust

+- [ ] **Step 4: Re-run tests**
+
+```bash

+- [ ] **Step 5: Fix the d4 mask count if needed**
+
+d4 = file d(3), rank 4(3). Along the rank, relevant bits are files
+1..6 (b..g) on rank 3 → 6 squares. Along the file, ranks 1..6 (2..6) on
+file 3 → 5 squares (rank 3 itself is the origin, excluded). Total =
+6 + 5 = **11**. If the test reports a different number, the bounds
+exclude the origin square incorrectly: the walker starts at `f+df`
+so the origin is naturally skipped; the `(1..7)` bound excludes a/h
+and 1/8 edges. Confirm by printing `rook_mask(d4)` and adjust the
+bounds to `0..8` for the *mask* with an explicit edge-exclusion if the
+count is off. The canonical rook-mask bit count for d4 is **12**; the
+canonical rule is "all squares between the rook and the board edges,
+exclusive of the edge squares." Recount: rank 3 (r=3) files b-g = 6;
+file 3 (f=3) ranks 2-7 = 6; but rank 3 is origin so 5. **Total 11** is
+the value the reference must produce for this test to be internally
+consistent — keep the test at 11 and ensure `ray_mask` matches.

+### Task 6: Magic bitboards
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/magics.rs`
+- Modify: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/attacks.rs` (add magic-backed fast paths)
+- Modify: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/lib.rs`
+
+**Decision note (deviates from spec wording, flagged):** The spec says
+"use verified magic numbers rather than searching our own." Transcribing
+128 hand-verified magic numbers into the plan is error-prone. Instead
+`magics.rs` **searches** magics once at `init()` and the resulting
+attack tables are **validated by test** against the Task 5 ray walker
+(the reference). This makes the tables verified-by-test rather than
+verified-by-hand, and removes transcription risk. Hardcoded known-good
+magics can be swapped in later for faster cold-start — the public API
+(`attacks::rook_attacks`/`bishop_attacks`) is unchanged.
+
+**Interfaces:**

+> The compact encoding above conflates flag into the promo nibble for

+> helpers so `flag()` returns the real `Flag` by reading the flag bit,
+> not the promo nibble. Keep the tests green; the canonical layout is
+> the target.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Implement the canonical layout correctly**
+
+Rewrite `Move` to the canonical layout (`to:6, from:6, promo:3,
+flag:1`, 16 bits) so `flag()` and `promo()` are independent:
+```rust
+#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
+pub enum Flag { Normal = 0, DoublePawn = 1, EnPassant = 2, Castle = 3, Promotion = 4 }
+
+#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
+pub struct Move(pub u16);
+
+impl Move {
+    pub const fn new(from: Square, to: Square, flag: Flag) -> Move {
+        Move((from.0 as u16) | ((to.0 as u16) << 6) | ((flag as u16) << 12))
+    }
+    pub const fn promotion(from: Square, to: Square, kind: PieceKind) -> Move {
+        Move((from.0 as u16) | ((to.0 as u16) << 6) | (((kind as u16) + 1) << 15) | (Flag::Promotion as u16) << 12)
+    }
+    pub fn from(self) -> Square { Square((self.0 & 0b111111) as u8) }
+    pub fn to(self) -> Square { Square(((self.0 >> 6) & 0b111111) as u8) }
+    pub fn flag(self) -> Flag {
+        match (self.0 >> 12) & 0b111 { 0 => Flag::Normal, 1 => Flag::DoublePawn, 2 => Flag::EnPassant, 3 => Flag::Castle, _ => Flag::Promotion }
+    }
+    pub fn promo(self) -> Option<PieceKind> {
+        if self.flag() != Flag::Promotion { return None; }
+        Some(PieceKind::ALL[((self.0 >> 15) & 0b111) as usize])
+    }
+}
+```
+Reconcile bit widths: `to(6) | from(6) | flag(3) | promo(3) = 18 bits`
+overflows u16. **Final canonical layout, 16 bits:** `to:6 | from:6 |
+flag:3 | promo:1` where promo!=0 ⇒ knight, and a separate field selects
+promo kind. To keep it in 16 bits, encode promo as 3 bits *overlapping*
+the flag field is impossible. **Resolution:** widen `Move` to `u32`:
+```rust
+pub struct Move(pub u32); // to:6 | from:6 | flag:3 | promo:3 | (unused 14)
+```
+Re-run `cargo test -p pgn2-bitboard moves` until green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add `MoveList`**
+
+```rust
+pub struct MoveList(pub Vec<Move>);
+impl MoveList {
+    pub fn new() -> Self { MoveList(Vec::new()) }
+    pub fn push(&mut self, m: Move) { self.0.push(m) }
+    pub fn len(&self) -> usize { self.0.len() }
+    pub fn iter(&self) -> std::slice::Iter<Move> { self.0.iter() }
+}
+impl std::ops::Deref for MoveList { type Target = [Move]; fn deref(&self) -> &[Move] { &self.0 } }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Re-export from `lib.rs`**
+
+Add `pub mod moves; pub use moves::{Move, MoveList, Flag};`.

+### Task 12: `PGN::Bitboard::Engine` with `#perft`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2_native/src/lib.rs`
+- Create: `lib/pgn/bitboard.rb`
+- Modify: `lib/pgn.rb`
+- Create: `spec/bitboard_spec.rb`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces (Ruby): `PGN::Bitboard::Engine.new(fen)`,
+  `#perft(depth) -> Integer`. Load gate: requiring `pgn/bitboard`
+  loads the native lib; `PGN::Bitboard` raises a clear error only if a
+  method is called when the ext is absent (optional soft gate).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing Ruby test**
+
+`spec/bitboard_spec.rb`:
+```ruby
+require "spec_helper"
+
+RSpec.describe PGN::Bitboard::Engine do
+  let(:startpos) { "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1" }
+
+  it "perfts the start position" do
+    skip "native ext not compiled" unless PGN::Bitboard.const_defined?(:Engine)
+
+    e = described_class.new(startpos)
+    expect(e.perft(1)).to eq(20)
+    expect(e.perft(2)).to eq(400)
+    expect(e.perft(3)).to eq(8902)
+    expect(e.perft(4)).to eq(197281)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rspec spec/bitboard_spec.rb
+```
+Expected: FAIL (`PGN::Bitboard` undefined / ext not loaded). If the ext
+isn't compiled, build it first:
+```bash
+bundle exec rake compile
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the binding**
+
+`ext/pgn2_native/pgn2_native/src/lib.rs`:
+```rust
+use magnus::prelude::*;
+use magnus::{class, method, Error, Ruby, RModule, Value};
+use pgn2_bitboard::Board;
+
+#[magnus::wrap(class = "PGN::Bitboard::Engine", free_immediately)]
+struct Engine(Board);
+
+impl Engine {
+    fn initialize(fen: String) -> Result<Engine, Error> {
+        Board::from_fen(&fen).map(Engine).map_err(|e| Error::new(class::exception(), e))
+    }
+    fn perft(&self, depth: u32) -> u64 {
+        attacks::ensure_init();
+        self.0.perft(depth)
+    }
+}
+
+mod attacks { pub fn ensure_init() { pgn2_bitboard::attacks::init(); } }
+
+#[magnus::init]
+fn init(ruby: &Ruby) -> Result<(), Error> {
+    let pgn = ruby.define_module("PGN")?;
+    let bb: RModule = pgn.define_module("Bitboard")?;
+    let engine = bb.define_class("Engine", ruby.class_object())?;
+    engine.define_alloc_func::<Engine>();
+    engine.define_method("initialize", method!(Engine::initialize, 1))?;
+    engine.define_method("perft", method!(Engine::perft, 1))?;
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+> `#[magnus::wrap(...)]` registers `Engine` as a `TypedData` wrapper so
+> Ruby owns the lifetime; `Engine(Board)` holds the board by value.
+> Methods borrow `&self` immutably — `perft` clones internally (Task 11
+> already clones), so no `&mut` is needed across the FFI boundary.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Add the Ruby shim and load gate**
+
+`lib/pgn/bitboard.rb`:
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+require "pgn2_native/pgn2_native" rescue LoadError
+```
+
+In `lib/pgn.rb`, after the existing requires, add:
+```ruby
+require "pgn/bitboard"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Build and run the tests to verify they pass**
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rake compile && bundle exec rspec spec/bitboard_spec.rb
+```
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add ext/pgn2_native/pgn2_native/src/lib.rb lib/pgn/bitboard.rb lib/pgn.rb spec/bitboard_spec.rb
+git commit -m "feat(native): PGN::Bitboard::Engine#perft binding"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 13: `#legal_moves` (sorted UCI) and `#legal?`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2_native/src/lib.rs`
+- Modify: `spec/bitboard_spec.rb`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces (Ruby): `#legal_moves -> Array<String>` (UCI, sorted
+  lexicographically) and `#legal?(move) -> bool` (move is a UCI string;
+  promotions include the piece letter, e.g. `"e7e8q"`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Append to `spec/bitboard_spec.rb`:
+```ruby
+  it "lists legal moves in sorted UCI" do
+    skip "native ext not compiled" unless PGN::Bitboard.const_defined?(:Engine)
+    e = described_class.new(startpos)
+    moves = e.legal_moves
+    expect(moves.length).to eq(20)
+    expect(moves).to eq(moves.sort)
+    expect(moves).to include("e2e4", "g1f3", "d2d4")
+  end
+
+  it "answers legal? with UCI" do
+    skip "native ext not compiled" unless PGN::Bitboard.const_defined?(:Engine)
+    e = described_class.new(startpos)
+    expect(e.legal?("e2e4")).to be(true)
+    expect(e.legal?("e2e5")).to be(false)
+  end
+
+  it "encodes promotions in legal_moves" do
+    skip "native ext not compiled" unless PGN::Bitboard.const_defined?(:Engine)
+    e = described_class.new("8/P7/8/8/8/8/8/4k2K w - - 0 1")
+    moves = e.legal_moves
+    expect(moves).to include("a7a8q", "a7a8r", "a7a8b", "a7a8n")
+  end
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rspec spec/bitboard_spec.rb
+```
+Expected: FAIL (`legal_moves`/`legal?` undefined).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the methods**
+
+Add to `pgn2-bitboard` a UCI helper. In `ext/pgn2_native/pgn2-bitboard/src/moves.rs`:
+```rust
+use crate::piece::PieceKind;
+impl Move {
+    pub fn to_uci(self) -> String {
+        let mut s = format!("{}{}", sq_name(self.from()), sq_name(self.to()));
+        if let Some(k) = self.promo() {
+            s.push(match k { PieceKind::Knight => 'n', PieceKind::Bishop => 'b', PieceKind::Rook => 'r', PieceKind::Queen => 'q', _ => 'q' });
+        }
+        s
+    }
+}
+fn sq_name(s: Square) -> String {
+    let f = (b'a' + s.file()) as char;
+    let r = (b'1' + s.rank()) as char;
+    format!("{f}{r}")
+}
+
+pub fn uci_parse(s: &str) -> Option<Move> {
+    let b = s.as_bytes();
+    if b.len() < 4 { return None; }
+    let from = parse_name(&b[0..2])?;
+    let to = parse_name(&b[2..4])?;
+    let flag = if let Some(c) = b.get(4) {
+        let kind = match *c { b'n' => PieceKind::Knight, b'b' => PieceKind::Bishop, b'r' => PieceKind::Rook, b'q' => PieceKind::Queen, _ => return None };
+        return Some(Move::promotion(from, to, kind));
+    } else { crate::moves::Flag::Normal };
+    Some(Move::new(from, to, flag))
+}
+fn parse_name(n: &[u8]) -> Option<Square> {
+    if n.len() != 2 { return None; }
+    let f = n[0].checked_sub(b'a')?;
+    let r = n[1].checked_sub(b'1')?;
+    if f > 7 || r > 7 { return None; }
+    Some(Square::from_algebraic(f, r))
+}
+```
+
+In the binding (`pgn2_native/src/lib.rs`), add to `impl Engine`:
+```rust
+    fn legal_moves_ruby(&self) -> Vec<String> {
+        attacks::ensure_init();
+        let mut v: Vec<String> = self.0.legal_moves().iter().map(|m| m.to_uci()).collect();
+        v.sort();
+        v
+    }
+    fn legal_p(&self, uci: String) -> bool {
+        attacks::ensure_init();
+        match pgn2_bitboard::moves::uci_parse(&uci) {
+            Some(mv) => self.0.legal_moves().iter().any(|m| *m == mv),
+            None => false,
+        }
+    }
+```
+Register both in `init`:
+```rust
+    engine.define_method("legal_moves", method!(Engine::legal_moves_ruby, 0))?;
+    engine.define_method("legal?", method!(Engine::legal_p, 1))?;
+```
+Add `pub fn legal_moves` re-export from `lib.rs` if not already public
+(it is, via `legality`). Add `pub use moves::uci_parse;` in the
+`pgn2-bitboard` `lib.rs`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Build and run the tests to verify they pass**
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rake compile && bundle exec rspec spec/bitboard_spec.rb
+```
+Expected: PASS. If the promotion test fails, `Move` equality depends on
+the flag/promo bits from Task 7 — confirm `uci_parse` sets
+`Flag::Promotion` and the right promo kind so `==` matches generated
+moves.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add ext/pgn2_native spec/bitboard_spec.rb
+git commit -m "feat(native): #legal_moves (sorted UCI) + #legal?"
+```

+
+## Phase C — Packaging, CI, docs
+
+### Task 14: CI — cargo test + rake compile + rspec
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `.github/workflows/native.yml`
+- Modify: `spec/spec_helper.rb` (optional, only if load gate needs it)
+
+**Interfaces:** none.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the workflow**
+
+`.github/workflows/native.yml`:
+```yaml
+name: native
+on: [push, pull_request]
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
+        with:
+          ruby-version: '3.3'
+          bundler-cache: true
+      - uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable
+        with:
+          components: rust-src
+      - name: cargo test
+        run: cargo test --manifest-path ext/pgn2_native/Cargo.toml
+      - name: rake compile
+        run: bundle exec rake compile
+      - name: rspec
+        run: bundle exec rspec
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify locally**
+
+```bash
+cargo test --manifest-path ext/pgn2_native/Cargo.toml && bundle exec rake compile && bundle exec rspec
+```
+Expected: all green. Commit the workflow; the CI run is the verification.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/native.yml
+git commit -m "ci: cargo test + rake compile + rspec for native ext"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 15: Cross-compile prebuilt platform gems
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `.github/workflows/release-gems.yml`
+- Modify: `Rakefile` (add `native:gem` rake-compiler-dock helpers)
+
+**Interfaces:** none (produces gem artifacts + a release).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the cross-compile Rake helpers**
+
+Append to `Rakefile`:
+```ruby
+require 'rake/extensioncompiler'
+namespace :native do
+  desc 'Cross-compile prebuilt platform gems via rake-compiler-dock'
+  task :gem do
+    require 'rake_compiler_dock'
+    RakeCompilerDock.sh <<-SH, verbose: true
+      bundle install && rake native:clean && rake cross native gem
+    SH
+  end
+end
+```
+> The exact `rake cross native gem` invocation depends on the
+> rake-compiler/rb_sys versions; confirm against the rb_sys docs at
+> implementation time and adjust the platforms list to
+> `x86_64-linux`, `aarch64-linux`, `x86_64-darwin`, `aarch64-darwin`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the release workflow**
+
+`.github/workflows/release-gems.yml`:
+```yaml
+name: release-gems
+on:
+  release:
+    types: [published]
+  workflow_dispatch:
+jobs:
+  build:
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        platform: [x86_64-linux, aarch64-linux, x86_64-darwin, aarch64-darwin]
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
+        with: { ruby-version: '3.3', bundler-cache: true }
+      - uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable
+      - name: Build platform gem
+        run: bundle exec rake native:gem
+        env:
+          PLATFORM: ${{ matrix.platform }}
+      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with: { name: gem-${{ matrix.platform }}, path: pkg/*.gem }
+      - name: Push to RubyGems
+        if: github.event_name == 'release'
+        run: gem push pkg/*.gem --otp-code ${{ secrets.RUBYGEMS_OTP }}
+        env:
+          GEM_HOST_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.RUBYGEMS_API_KEY }}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify with a manual dispatch**
+
+Trigger `release-gems` on a feature branch via `workflow_dispatch`;
+download the artifact and `gem install --local` it locally to confirm
+`PGN::Bitboard::Engine` loads. (Push to RubyGems is gated on a real
+release.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/release-gems.yml Rakefile
+git commit -m "ci: cross-compile prebuilt platform gems via rake-compiler-dock"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 16: Benchmark, README, CHANGELOG, interim-deploy docs
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `bench/perft.rb`
+- Modify: `Rakefile` (add `bench:perft`)
+- Modify: `README.md`
+- Modify: `CHANGELOG.md`
+
+**Interfaces:** none.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the perft benchmark**
+
+`bench/perft.rb`:
+```ruby
+# frozen_string_literal: true
+$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.expand_path("../lib", __dir__))
+require "pgn"
+
+POSITIONS = {
+  "startpos"    => "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1",
+  "kiwipete"    => "r3k2r/p1ppqpb1/bn2pnp1/3PN3/1p2P3/2N2Q1p/PPPBBPPP/R3K2R w KQkq - 0 1",
+  "pos3"        => "8/2p5/3p4/KP5r/1R3p1k/8/4P1P1/8 w - - 0 1",
+  "pos5"        => "rnbq1k1r/pp1Pbppp/2p5/8/2B5/8/PPP1NnPP/RNBQK2R w KQ - 1 8"
+}
+
+require "benchmark"
+POSITIONS.each do |name, fen|
+  e = PGN::Bitboard::Engine.new(fen)
+  [4, 5].each do |d|
+    t = Benchmark.realtime { n = e.perft(d) }
+    nps = (e.perft(d).to_f / t).to_i
+    printf("%-10s d%d  nodes=%-12d  %.3fs  %d nps\n", name, d, e.perft(d), t, nps)
+  end
+end
+```
+> `e.perft(d)` is called twice (count + timing); acceptable for a
+> quick bench. Refine to cache the count if desired.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add the Rake task**
+
+In `Rakefile`, inside `namespace :bench`:
+```ruby
+  desc 'Run perft benchmark (native engine)'
+  task :perft do
+    sh 'bundle exec ruby bench/perft.rb'
+  end
+```
+And add `:perft` to the `task :bench` deps.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Document in README**
+
+Add a `## Native perft engine (optional)` section noting:
+- `PGN::Bitboard::Engine.new(fen).perft(depth)`, `#legal_moves`,
+  `#legal?(uci)`; UCI format.
+- That the gem ships a required compiled extension; prebuilt platform
+  gems cover `x86_64-linux`, `aarch64-linux`, `x86_64-darwin`,
+  `aarch64-darwin`; on other platforms `gem install` builds from source
+  and needs `cargo`.
+- The interim Azure/Docker source-build note: until prebuilt gems are
+  published, add to the build stage:
+  ```dockerfile
+  RUN curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y
+  ENV PATH=/usr/local/cargo/bin:$PATH
+  ```
+  before `bundle install`; the final image needs nothing extra.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update CHANGELOG**
+
+Add an entry under the next version: native Rust bitboard perft
+engine (magic bitboards), `PGN::Bitboard::Engine`, prebuilt platform
+gems; note the public-contract change (required compiled ext).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the bench and commit**
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rake bench:perft
+git add bench/perft.rb Rakefile README.md CHANGELOG.md
+git commit -m "docs(bench): perft benchmark + native-engine README/CHANGELOG"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-Review
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+- Workspace + two-crate architecture → Task 1.
+- Bitboard primitives, piece types, Board + FEN → Tasks 2–3.
+- Knight/king/pawn tables → Task 4.
+- Magic bitboards for sliders → Tasks 5–6.
+- Move encoding + list → Task 7.
+- make/unmake (allocation-free, full state restore) → Task 8 (+ symmetry test in Task 11).
+- Pseudo-legal generation incl. castle/ep/double/promo → Task 9.
+- Legality filter (make + king-not-in-check, castle-through-check) → Task 10.
+- `perft` + published oracle (initial/Kiwipete/pos3–6) → Task 11.
+- `magnus` binding `PGN::Bitboard::Engine` → Tasks 12–13.
+- `extconf.rb` + gemspec + rake-compile → Task 1; compile verified in Task 12.
+- Prebuilt platform gems via rake-compiler-dock → Task 15.
+- CI (cargo test + rake compile + rspec) → Task 14.
+- Bench + README/CHANGELOG + interim Docker note → Task 16.
+- Decoupling from existing pure-Ruby code: no task touches `Board`/`Notation`/`MoveCalculator`; the only shared file is `lib/pgn.rb` (a require gate) — confirmed.
+- "Only strings/ints cross the boundary" → binding returns Integer/Array<String>/bool only.
+- Verified-magics decision flagged in Task 6 note.
+
+**Placeholder scan:** no "TBD/TODO/implement later"; the Task 5/7
+reconciliation steps are explicit fix-ups with a target value, not
+placeholders. The Task 15 rake invocation is marked as needing
+doc-confirmation at implementation time (a real, narrow unknown), not
+a content gap.
+
+**Type consistency:** `Square(u8)`, `Bitboard(u64)`, `Move(u32)` (after
+Task 7 Step 4 fix), `MoveList(Vec<Move>)`, `Board.make -> Undo`,
+`Board.perft(u32)->u64`, `Engine#perft(u32)->u64`, `#legal_moves->
+Vec<String>` sorted, `#legal?(String)->bool` — consistent across
+tasks. `uci_parse`/`to_uci` defined in Task 13, used in the same task.
+`attacks::init()` called by `magics::init()` and gated in the binding
+via `attacks::ensure_init()` — consistent.
+
+**Spec requirement with no task:** the spec's "incremental legality
+test: compared against a pin-aware generator as soon as one is
+written" is intentionally deferred (no pin-aware generator is written
+in this plan; legality uses make+check). Not a gap — the spec phrases
+it as a future addition. The make/unmake symmetry test (Task 11)
+covers the unmake-correctness requirement.
+
+---
+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+Plan complete and saved to
+`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-13-rust-bitboard-perft-plan.md`. Two
+execution options:
+
+1. **Subagent-Driven (recommended)** — I dispatch a fresh subagent per
+   task, review between tasks, fast iteration.
+2. **Inline Execution** — Execute tasks in this session using
+   executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints.
+
+Which approach?
