tools: cross the DEEPEST showcase with a database of published helpmates - #30

tools/published_problems.py parses the plain-text database format (one block per problem: No./id, author, sources, board in German piece letters, stipulation, solution), matches showcase positions under every mirroring (all eight symmetries pawnless, the two that keep pawns moving up otherwise), writes `published` into DEEPEST.json for every entry the database contains, and for each such entry asks the tablebase (mine --dtm D --count 1) for an unpublished position of the same material and depth, stored as `alternative` with its solution and themes. DEEPEST.md renders a Published line and a sibling card "No. N b"; the booklet renders the same as its own entry. JSON is rewritten only when something changed. The database on hand (sampledata/hmatt_lower7.fen: 8,952 problems, 8,878 of them h#2) contains none of the 234 showcase problems (h#6..h#17), so the shipped documents change only by a header sentence. The matching path is covered by tests with a synthetic block built from a real showcase position, mirrored and written in German letters, and was exercised end to end against the real tablebase. sampledata/ is git-ignored.

tests/repo/test_published_problems.py: parsing and German-letter conversion, symmetry invariants (8 vs 2 mirrorings), index lookup of a mirrored German-letter block, annotate adds publication + alternative and skips the entry itself and published candidates, no-op without matches, the real database parses and matches nothing today (skipped when the file is absent)tests/repo/test_deepest_render.py: 86 pass incl. the staleness checks after regenerationmake lintclean🤖 Generated with Claude Code
