Internal Simulation (Pseudocode)

def spawn_agent(role, persona, goal, situation, history, round):
    # Use internal logic, rules, or a local model to select a stratagem and move
    move = select_best_move(role, persona, goal, situation, history, round)
    return move

• All reasoning, move selection, and verdict logic must be implemented within the agent itself.
• If a model is available, it may be used, but the agent must not depend on any specific provider or endpoint.
