+description: Always update the project structure memory files when adding, removing, or changing source files
+type: feedback
+---
+
+After any change that adds, removes, renames, or significantly alters a source file, update the relevant structure memory file:
+
+- New/renamed/deleted file in `modules/api` → update `project_structure_api.md`
+- New/renamed/deleted file in `modules/core` → update `project_structure_core.md`
+- New module, dependency version change, or new top-level directory → update `project_structure_root.md`
+- New module added → create a new `project_structure_<module>.md` and add it to `MEMORY.md`
+
+**Why:** Structure memories are the primary navigation aid. Stale entries cause wasted exploration.
+
+**How to apply:** Treat the structure memory update as part of completing any implementation task — do it in the same session, not as a follow-up.

+
+# Module: `modules/core`

+**Purpose:** Standalone TUI chess application. All game logic, move validation, rendering. Depends on `modules/api`.

+| File | Contents |
+|------|----------|
+| `GameController.scala` | `sealed trait MoveResult` ADT: `Quit`, `InvalidFormat`, `NoPiece`, `WrongColor`, `IllegalMove`, `Moved`, `MovedInCheck`, `Checkmate`, `Stalemate`; `object GameController` — `processMove(ctx, turn, raw): MoveResult` (pure), `gameLoop(ctx, turn)` (I/O loop), `applyRightsRevocation(...)` (castling rights bookkeeping) |

+| `GameRules.scala` | `enum PositionStatus { Normal, InCheck, Mated, Drawn }`; `object GameRules` — `isInCheck(board, color)`, `legalMoves(ctx, color): Set[(Square,Square)]`, `gameStatus(ctx, color): PositionStatus` |
+| `MoveValidator.scala` | `object MoveValidator` — `isLegal(board, from, to)`, `legalTargets(board, from): Set[Square]` (board-only, no castling), `legalTargets(ctx, from)` (context-aware, includes castling), `isCastle`, `castleSide`, `castlingTargets(ctx, color)` — full castling legality (empty squares, no check through transit) |
+
+### `view/`
+| File | Contents |
+|------|----------|
+| `Renderer.scala` | `object Renderer` — `render(board): String` outputs ANSI-colored board with file/rank labels |
+| `PieceUnicode.scala` | `extension (Piece).unicode: String` maps each piece to its Unicode chess symbol |

+
+## Key design notes
+- `MoveValidator` has two overloaded `legalTargets`: one takes `Board` (geometry only), one takes `GameContext` (adds castling)
+- `GameRules.legalMoves` filters by check — it calls `MoveValidator.legalTargets(ctx, from)` then simulates each move
+- Castling rights revocation is in `GameController.applyRightsRevocation`, triggered after every move
+- No `@QuarkusTest` — this module is a plain Scala application, not a Quarkus service

+## [2026-03-31] Unreachable code blocking 100% statement coverage
+
+**Requirement/Bug:** Reach 100% statement coverage in core module.
+
+**Root Cause:** 4 remaining uncovered statements (99.6% coverage) are unreachable code:
+1. **PgnParser.scala:160** (`case _ => None` in extractPromotion) - Regex `=([QRBN])` only matches those 4 characters; fallback case can never execute
+2. **GameHistory.scala:29** (`addMove$default$4` compiler-generated method) - Method overload 3 without defaults shadows the 4-param version, making promotionPiece default accessor unreachable
+3. **GameEngine.scala:201-202** (`case _` in completePromotion) - GameController.completePromotion always returns one of 4 expected MoveResult types; catch-all is defensive code
+
+**Attempted Fixes:**
+1. Added comprehensive PGN parsing tests (all 4 promotion types) - PgnParser improved from 95.8% to 99.4%
+2. Added GameHistory tests using named parameters - hit `addMove$default$3` (castleSide) but not `$default$4` (promotionPiece)
+3. Named parameter approach: `addMove(from=..., to=..., promotionPiece=...)` triggers 4-param with castleSide default ✓
+4. Positional approach: `addMove(f, t, None, None)` requires all 4 args (explicit, no defaults used) - doesn't hit $default$4
+5. Root issue: Scala's overload resolution prefers more-specific non-default overloads (2-param, 3-param) over the 4-param with defaults
+
+**Recommendation:** 99.6% (1029/1033) is maximum achievable without refactoring method overloads. Unreachable code design patterns:
+- **Pattern 1 (unreachable regex fallback):** Defensive pattern match against exhaustive regex
+- **Pattern 2 (overshadowed defaults):** Method overloads shadow default parameters in parent signature
+- **Pattern 3 (defensive catch-all):** Error handling for impossible external API returns
