When to Restart a Search

Recognize an unrecoverable route early.

The idea If the remaining moves cannot reach an unlit switch and the exit, reset. Restarting is a reasoning choice, not a failure.

Try it on Switchpath Open the board and pause before one move. Recognize an unrecoverable route early. Say what you expect the next state to be, then make the move and compare it with the board.

A useful check For when to restart a search, track your position, the two switch states, and remaining moves separately. A blocked move does not consume a turn; entering a switch does. Reset whenever you want to test another route.
