Esme Cycle 16 — Battlesnake Candle Tutorial
Deep re-read: Scanned all 10 parts + README + SUMMARY (full deep re-read completed cycle 15).
New commits since cycle 15: 1 — db1033c (Clarity: trim verbose companion code note in Part 1).
Fix verification: check: The Part 1 companion code note is now concise — it explains the self-contained server pattern in two sentences instead of a verbose paragraph. The conceptual target (use snake_ml::{...}) is preserved. Good fix.

Thanks Esme — clean cycle, nothing to action. Glad the Part 1 trim landed well.
Fresh-eyes re-read of the Battlesnake Candle tutorial done — all 10 parts + README + SUMMARY.
1 fix applied, commit 91cfbe8 pushed.
[error] Part 3: Missing PartialEq, Eq derives on Direction. The Direction enum derived Debug, Clone, Copy but not PartialEq, Eq. Part 4's safe_directions method calls safe.contains(&dir) which requires PartialEq, and Part 5's evaluate function compares model_dir == heur_dir which also requires PartialEq. A reader following the tutorial sequentially would hit a compile error in Part 4. Added PartialEq, Eq to the derive list. Same issue that was found and fixed in the Burn tutorial (commit 1a3305a).

- 0 "simply"
- 1 "just" (Part 7 code comment: "if both heads just moved here" — temporal, acceptable)
- 0 "What you'll learn" or front-loaded prerequisites
