From 61d09a8d9fb52e457bdd6f4fcdb4741702b5965c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lim Yu Xi Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:43:47 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20PopulationManager=20=E2=80=94=20generat?= =?UTF-8?q?ion=20loop,=20parent=20sampling,=20evolution=20orchestration=20?= =?UTF-8?q?(#155)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds PopulationManager, EvolverConfig, and EvolverResult to evolver.zig: - EvolverConfig: problem_statement, fitness_cmd, max_generations, population_size, crossover_every_n, timeout, early_stop_threshold - PopulationManager: maintains sorted organism population with addOrganism, sortByFitness, best, shouldStopEarly, useCrossover, selectParents (fitness-proportional), nextId, and run() orchestrator - EvolverResult: best_organism, generations_run, total_evaluated, converged Also adds Organism and FailureCase types (prerequisite from #149/#153). 10 new tests covering: best selection, empty population, early stopping, crossover scheduling, disabled crossover, fitness-proportional parent selection bias, ID generation, run with early stop, run without convergence, and EvolverConfig defaults. All 28 evolver tests pass.
