poketaka-sim: reconstructing PokéTaka battle rules from replays

poketaka-sim reconstructs PokéTaka battle behavior from replay logs and simulates a recorded match hit by hit. It converts damage observations into interval constraints, compares candidate critical-hit and rounding rules, and checks the inferred model against held-out hits. The author reports exact reproduction of 255 observed hits in the example battle.
