From d131042441187b676b94cefd08818950f44f3b8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: ModischFabrications <modisch.fabrications@gmail.com>
Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2024 03:24:08 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] massive rework & cleanup; implement pydantic validation and
 extend checks, simplify tests with matrixes, remove cumbersome test fixtures,
 use simple typing, create and update SolverSettings, rework n_max checks to
 properly respect calculation times, major performance upgrade to bruteforce
 solver (closes #66), fix and include gapfill solver, prepare structure for
 #68 metrics
