Add shallow-depth optimistic static evaluation margins, restrict to late legal quiet nonchecking moves at safe non-PV nodes, reuse search-stack evaluations, and retain existing RFP/LMR/HMP/LMP/SEE policies. Expose UCI tuning options and regression suite.
Assert depth-three parent does not compute a futility estimate while permitting depth-two children to prune. Check partner king with a flank rook that does not also check the mover.
