Case contract

Input: {"board": {square: piece}, "from": square of a knight}. Squares are indexed 0..63 with a1=0, h1=7, a8=56. Return the sorted list of pseudo-legal knight destinations: on the board, not wrapping across the a/h file edge, and not occupied by a piece of the knight's colour.

Why this case matters

Move validators gate every move in engines, servers and arbiters; accepting an illegal move or rejecting a legal one corrupts the game record.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
