SCID Recast is a deterministic, modern architecture modernizing the core database and indexing subsystem from first principles. It preserves compatibility with existing si5 databases while restructuring the core into a clean, modular C library (libscidcore) with well‑defined boundaries for database, game model, search, engine integration, and metadata. The project emphasizes reproducibility, explicit invariants, a clear error model, and a stable foundation for supporting archival workflows and future tooling.

Features

  • Deterministic si5 database engine
  • Modular libscidcore architecture
  • Explicit invariants and error model
  • Reproducible indexing and search
  • Clean separation of DB, PGN, game model, and engine layers
  • Neovim‑inspired contributor‑friendly module layout
  • Clean, internal API boundaries, with a path to a stable C API
  • Zero heuristics, zero hidden state, zero nondeterministic behavior
  • Built for long‑term maintainability and research workflows
