Internal implementation notes
Adds knight-shaped MOVE/CAPTURE destinations to bishops. The v1 Templar move is a leap independent of N_LIGHT_CAVALRY because it is a bishop perk with its own identity. Legal actions are still filtered for self-check.
Test coverage from manifest
- Bishop can move in an L shape to an empty square.
- Bishop can still move diagonally normally.
- Bishop can capture an enemy in an L shape.
- Bishop's knight-like attack can give check.
- Bishop cannot move to non-L square using this perk.
- Bishop cannot capture friendly piece unless another rule allows it.
- Move cannot leave own royal in check.
- Applying the perk action and replaying the resulting event log reaches the same final state hash.
- The public action description is regenerated consistently from the stored event.
