Description

  • check/remove castling permissions if there is no rook (or king) in the proper place
  • check/remove en-passant if en passant is not possible
  • check kings are on the board and only one of each
  • check there are no checks on the king if the other side is to play
  • check kings are not adjacent
  • check no pawns on the first or eighth ranks (with fix to turn them to queens if promotion is possible)

Research direction

Start by locating the extension's FEN parsing or position-validation entry points; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Define how each listed validation and fix should behave, including castling, en passant, king placement, checks, adjacent kings, and pawns on promotion ranks. Done means invalid FEN positions are detected and the requested repairs are applied consistently.
