Subject: [PATCH] refactor(core): cleanup UI and notation imports for NCS-22
 interface abstraction

- Removed unused CastleSide import from PgnExporter
- Updated TerminalUI and GUIObserver to use GameContext
- Temporarily disabled GUI FEN/PGN import-export (requires full rework with GameContext)
- Deleted unused logic files and GameController per spec

Note: GameEngine still needs final refactoring to use RuleSet + GameContext.
Core architecture (api -> rule -> core) is structurally complete.

+# NCS-22: Module Refactoring with Interface Abstraction
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Split `modules/core` into clean layers (api → rule → core) with RuleSet as single source of truth for chess rules.
+
+**Architecture:** Three-layer model with immutable GameContext bundling all game state. RuleSet interface abstracts all rule decisions. GameEngine calls RuleSet directly; GameController removed.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Scala 3, Gradle, scoverage (100% coverage required)
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Create GameContext immutable type in modules/api
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `modules/api/src/main/scala/de/nowchess/api/game/GameContext.scala`
+
+**Dependency:** modules/api depends only on itself (no other modules)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write GameContext case class with all game state**
+
+```scala
+package de.nowchess.api.game
+
+import de.nowchess.api.board.{Board, Color, Square}
+import de.nowchess.api.move.Move
+
+/** Immutable bundle of complete game state.
+ *  All state changes produce new GameContext instances.
+ */
+case class GameContext(
+  board: Board,
+  turn: Color,
+  castlingRights: CastlingRights,
+  enPassantSquare: Option[Square],
+  halfMoveClock: Int,
+  moves: List[Move]
+):
+  /** Create new context with updated board. */
+  def withBoard(newBoard: Board): GameContext = copy(board = newBoard)
+  
+  /** Create new context with updated turn. */
+  def withTurn(newTurn: Color): GameContext = copy(turn = newTurn)
+  
+  /** Create new context with updated castling rights. */
+  def withCastlingRights(newRights: CastlingRights): GameContext = copy(castlingRights = newRights)
+  
+  /** Create new context with updated en passant square. */
+  def withEnPassantSquare(newSq: Option[Square]): GameContext = copy(enPassantSquare = newSq)
+  
+  /** Create new context with updated half-move clock. */
+  def withHalfMoveClock(newClock: Int): GameContext = copy(halfMoveClock = newClock)
+  
+  /** Create new context with move appended to history. */
+  def withMove(move: Move): GameContext = copy(moves = moves :+ move)
+
+object GameContext:
+  /** Initial position: white to move, all castling rights, no en passant. */
+  def initial: GameContext = GameContext(
+    board = Board.initial,
+    turn = Color.White,
+    castlingRights = CastlingRights.initial,
+    enPassantSquare = None,
+    halfMoveClock = 0,
+    moves = List.empty
+  )
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Create CastlingRights type in modules/api**
+
+Create `modules/api/src/main/scala/de/nowchess/api/board/CastlingRights.scala`:
+
+```scala
+package de.nowchess.api.board
+
+case class CastlingRights(
+  whiteKingSide: Boolean,
+  whiteQueenSide: Boolean,
+  blackKingSide: Boolean,
+  blackQueenSide: Boolean
+):
+  def removeWhiteKingSide: CastlingRights = copy(whiteKingSide = false)
+  def removeWhiteQueenSide: CastlingRights = copy(whiteQueenSide = false)
+  def removeBlackKingSide: CastlingRights = copy(blackKingSide = false)
+  def removeBlackQueenSide: CastlingRights = copy(blackQueenSide = false)
+
+object CastlingRights:
+  def initial: CastlingRights = CastlingRights(true, true, true, true)
+```
+

+  def candidateMoves(context: GameContext, square: Square): List[Move]
+
+  /** Legal moves for `square`: candidates that don't leave own king in check. */

+# Module Refactor: Interface Abstraction Layer — NCS-22
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-03  
+**Epic:** NCS-20 (Reduce Token Usage)  
+**Task:** NCS-22 (Split module into smaller modules)  
+**Author:** Claude Code  
+**Status:** Design Approved
+
+---
+
+## Objective
+
+Refactor NowChessSystems from a monolithic `modules/core` into a three-layer architecture with clean interface boundaries:
+1. Reduce complexity and token usage
+2. Extract rules logic into dedicated `modules/rule`
+3. Establish RuleSet as the single source of truth for all chess rule decisions
+4. Enable future rule variants (Chess960, etc.) via interface implementations
+
+---
+
+## Current State
+
+**modules/core** conflates multiple concerns:
+- `GameEngine` (state management, observer pattern)
+- `GameController` (move validation orchestration)
+- `GameRules`, `MoveValidator`, `CastlingRightsCalculator`, `EnPassantCalculator` (rule logic)
+- Notation (PGN/FEN parsing and export)
+- Command/undo system
+
+**Problem:** GameEngine depends directly on validation logic; no abstraction boundary; rules tightly coupled to engine implementation.
+
+**modules/rule** (stubbed):
+- `RuleSet` trait: defines interface for rule queries
+- `StandardRules` (partial): scaffolded but uses different package/type names
+
+---
+
+## Proposed Architecture
+
+### Three-Layer Model
+
+```
+┌─ modules/api ─────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Shared types: GameContext, Board, Move, etc.  │
+└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+                      ↑
+┌─ modules/rule ────────────────────────────────┐
+│ RuleSet trait (interface)                     │
+│ StandardRules (implementation)                │
+│ All move generation & validation logic        │
+└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+                      ↑
+┌─ modules/core ────────────────────────────────┐
+│ GameEngine (state + observer pattern)         │
+│ Command/undo system                          │
+│ Notation parsers (PGN/FEN)                   │
+└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- `modules/rule` depends on `modules/api`
+- `modules/core` depends on `modules/rule` and `modules/api`
+- No circular dependencies
+- `modules/api` depends only on std library
+
+### Core Types
+
+#### GameContext (new, in modules/api)
+
+Immutable value type bundling complete game state:
+
+```scala
+case class GameContext(
+  board: Board,
+  turn: Color,
+  castlingRights: CastlingRights,
+  enPassantSquare: Option[Square],
+  halfMoveClock: Int,
+  moves: List[Move]  // game history
+):
+  def withBoard(newBoard: Board): GameContext = copy(board = newBoard)
+  def withTurn(newTurn: Color): GameContext = copy(turn = newTurn)
+  def withMove(move: Move): GameContext = copy(moves = moves :+ move)
+  // ... other immutable updates
+```
+
+Replaces both `Situation` (from StandardRules) and `GameHistory` (from GameEngine).
+
+#### RuleSet (in modules/rule)
+
+Single source of truth for all rule decisions:
+
+```scala
+trait RuleSet:
+  def candidateMoves(context: GameContext, square: Square): List[Move]
+  def legalMoves(context: GameContext, square: Square): List[Move]
+  def allLegalMoves(context: GameContext): List[Move]
+  def isCheck(context: GameContext): Boolean
+  def isCheckmate(context: GameContext): Boolean
+  def isStalemate(context: GameContext): Boolean
+  def isInsufficientMaterial(context: GameContext): Boolean
+  def isFiftyMoveRule(context: GameContext): Boolean
+```
+
+#### StandardRules (in modules/rule)
+
+Concrete implementation of RuleSet for standard chess:
+- Move generation (pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queens, kings, castling, en passant)
+- Check/checkmate/stalemate detection
+- Insufficient material detection
+- 50-move rule tracking
+
+Refactored from existing `StandardRules` scaffold to use NowChess types and naming conventions. No manual logic duplication from `modules/core/logic/*`.
+
+### GameEngine Refactoring
+
+**Before:** GameEngine → GameController → GameRules/MoveValidator  
+**After:** GameEngine → RuleSet directly
+
+Move from:
+```scala
+GameController.processMove(board, history, turn, moveInput) match
+  case MoveResult.Moved(...) => ...
+```
+
+To:
+```scala
+val moves = ruleSet.legalMoves(context, from)
+if moves.contains(move) then
+  val newBoard = board.applyMove(move)
+  val newContext = context.withBoard(newBoard).withMove(move)
+  // emit event
+```
+
+**Removed:**
+- `modules/core/controller/GameController.scala` (logic → RuleSet, orchestration → GameEngine)
+- All rule logic from `modules/core/logic/*` (→ modules/rule)
+
+**Retained:**
+- Command/undo system (depends on GameContext instead of GameHistory)
+- Observer pattern (event notifications)
+- PGN/FEN parsing and export
+
+---
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### Why Immutable GameContext?
+
+- **Enables replay:** Undo/redo regenerate state from commands
+- **Thread-safe:** No synchronization needed for reads
+- **Testable:** Each state change is explicit
+- **Composable:** Easier to build derived contexts
+
+### Why Remove GameController?
+
+- **Not an abstraction:** It's implementation detail orchestration
+- **Duplicates logic:** Validates moves, applies moves, checks outcomes — all in RuleSet now
+- **Single Responsibility:** GameEngine handles I/O and state, RuleSet handles rules
+
+### Why RuleSet as interface?
+
+- **Extensibility:** Chess960, variants inherit from RuleSet
+- **Testability:** Mock RuleSet for engine tests
+- **Clear contract:** Engine doesn't need to know *how* moves are generated, only that RuleSet provides them
+
+### Test Strategy
+
+- **No manual board construction:** Use FEN for position setup
+- **Use PGN for move validation:** Assert sequences of moves are legal
+- **RuleSet tests:** Direct unit tests of move generation, check detection, etc. (all via FEN/PGN)
+- **GameEngine tests:** Verify event emission and state transitions with RuleSet mocks or real RuleSet
+
+---
+
+## Files to Create/Modify
+
+| Action | File | Purpose |
+|--------|------|---------|
+| **Create** | `modules/api/src/main/scala/de/nowchess/api/game/GameContext.scala` | Immutable game state |
+| **Refactor** | `modules/rule/src/main/scala/de/nowchess/rules/RuleSet.scala` | Interface definition |
+| **Rewrite** | `modules/rule/src/main/scala/de/nowchess/rules/StandardRules.scala` | Implementation (adapted from scaffold) |
+| **Create** | `modules/rule/build.gradle.kts` | Gradle config with api dependency |
+| **Refactor** | `modules/core/src/main/scala/de/nowchess/chess/engine/GameEngine.scala` | Call RuleSet directly |
+| **Delete** | `modules/core/src/main/scala/de/nowchess/chess/controller/GameController.scala` | No longer needed |
+| **Delete** | `modules/core/src/main/scala/de/nowchess/chess/logic/*.scala` | Move to modules/rule |
+| **Update** | `modules/core/build.gradle.kts` | Add rule dependency |
+| **Update** | `settings.gradle.kts` | Already includes rule; no changes needed |
+
+---
+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|
+| GameEngine refactor breaks observer/undo | Keep observer and command patterns intact; only change what RuleSet returns |
+| GameContext replaces two types (Situation/GameHistory) | Design GameContext upfront; validate it works with undo/redo before full migration |
+| Move logic extraction from core is fragile | Extract incrementally: extract one type at a time, validate with existing tests first |
+| PGN/FEN still depend on core classes | Create wrapper types in api if needed; avoid circular deps |
+
+---
+
+## Done Criteria
+
+- [ ] GameContext type created and used in RuleSet
+- [ ] RuleSet interface and StandardRules implementation complete
+- [ ] GameEngine refactored to call RuleSet (no GameController)
+- [ ] All rule logic extracted from modules/core to modules/rule
+- [ ] No circular dependencies
+- [ ] Build succeeds
+- [ ] Regression tests written using FEN/PGN (not manual boards)
+- [ ] Code freeze can be lifted
