Struct StepCountingHillClimbingAcceptor 

pub struct StepCountingHillClimbingAcceptor<S: PlanningSolution> { /* private fields */ }

Step Counting Hill Climbing acceptor - allows limited non-improving moves.

This acceptor combines hill climbing with a step limit that resets whenever an improving move is made. It accepts:

1. Any improving move (resets the step counter)
2. Non-improving moves if step count since last improvement is below threshold

This enables exploration while still requiring eventual improvement.

Example

use solverforge_solver::phase::localsearch::StepCountingHillClimbingAcceptor;
use solverforge_core::score::SimpleScore;
use solverforge_core::domain::PlanningSolution;

#[derive(Clone)]
struct MySolution;
impl PlanningSolution for MySolution {
    type Score = SimpleScore;
    fn score(&self) -> Option<Self::Score> { None }
    fn set_score(&mut self, _: Option<Self::Score>) {}
}

// Allow up to 100 non-improving steps before requiring improvement
let acceptor = StepCountingHillClimbingAcceptor::<MySolution>::new(100);

Called when a step ends with an accepted move.

fn phase_ended(&mut self)

Called when a phase ends.

fn step_started(&mut self)

Called when a step starts.
