Part 6 of #91

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • SAN notation now includes clearer move disambiguation and check or checkmate indicators where applicable.
• Documentation
  • Added a link to the SAN encoder documentation in the Chess documentation index.
• Refactor
  • Chess move-to-SAN handling now uses a dedicated encoder. Move notation remains available through the existing interface.

Walkthrough

Chess now delegates SAN formatting and caching to SanEncoder. The encoder uses callbacks for move generation and board-state operations. New documentation and tests cover the encoder and its disambiguation behavior.

Changes: SAN encoding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Implement SAN encoding src/SanEncoder.php, tests/SanEncoderTest.php, docs/san_encoder.md	SanEncoder formats and caches SAN, including castling, captures, promotions, disambiguation, and check or checkmate suffixes. Tests cover disambiguation, callback order, and cache reuse. The documentation describes the encoder methods and callbacks.
Delegate SAN encoding src/Chess.php, docs/index.md	Chess replaces its SAN cache and in-class formatting logic with a SanEncoder instance. It initializes the encoder with callbacks and passes each move and the current board hash to encode. The documentation index links to san_encoder.md.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to de45e

SAN formatting now lives in a SanEncoder class that is present in the change. The earlier missing-class failure and the broken documentation link are fixed. Only a cosmetic heading-level nit in the new docs page remains.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to de45e

The refactor preserves legal-move validation and normal notation behavior. The main remaining uncertainty is lifecycle ownership: the encoder stores callbacks bound to its creator, so copied objects and independent consumers require care. No new attacker-controlled callback path was established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — For normal Chess construction, the encoder's authority is limited to operations on that Chess instance and its game state. Standalone consumers can supply callbacks with different authority, but their external exposure is not represented in the available evidence.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The inspected runtime path preserves the distinction between move data and executable authority: user-provided SAN or coordinates are compared with generated legal moves, while trusted construction determines the callbacks. The test's arbitrary callbacks do not establish attacker-facing callback injection.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Both implementations restore temporary moves only on normal completion, without a finally guard. Exceptions between make and undo can interrupt restoration, but the base already had this failure-containment limitation; it is not an introduced PR finding.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If independent Chess copies are intended to be supported, define that lifecycle explicitly and recreate the encoder with callbacks bound to each copy, alongside the existing mutable-state isolation requirements.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 75.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 3 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Review comments at @src/Chess.php:
- Around line 34-39: Add the missing PChess\Chess\SanEncoder class in
src/SanEncoder.php so Chess construction can autoload it. Move the removed SAN
encoding logic into SanEncoder, preserving its behavior; its constructor must
accept the four callbacks passed by Chess, and encode(Move $move, string
$boardHash) must return the SAN string.
