BiosimRust v1.0.6

New Features

Added killkinprotection parameter (range 0.0-1.0) to reduce kill probability for genetically similar individuals
Uses exponential reduction formula: identical genomes have near-zero kill probability
Default value: 0.8 (strong protection)
Improves biological realism by reducing same-species killing

Added buffer zone: individuals must be at least 2 cells from any edge to survive
Prevents edge huddling behavior and encourages clustering in arena interior
Improves challenge behavior and visual results

New parameter in biosimrust.ini:

killkinprotection reduces the probability of killing genetically similar individuals.
Range 0.0..1.0. Higher values = stronger protection against killing kin.
- 0.0 = no protection (identical genomes can kill each other)
- 1.0 = maximum protection (identical genomes never kill each other)
Formula: adjusted_kill_prob = base_kill_prob * (1.0 - genetic_similarity)^(1.0 / (killkinprotection + 0.1))
Recommended: 0.3 to 0.7 for biological realism. Default: 0.8
killkinprotection = 0.8

Kin protection uses exponential reduction for stronger protection at high genetic similarity
Challenge 3 buffer zone enforces minimum distance from edges
Both changes improve biological realism and challenge behavior

Fully backward compatible
Existing config files work without changes (uses default killkinprotection = 0.8)
No breaking changes to APIs or file formats
