//! # Immune System Simulator 20XX
//!
//! Similar to [`Day 15`] we implement the rules precisely, paying attention to edge cases.
//!
//! In particular during part two, it's possible for a fight to end in a draw, if both armies
//! become too weak to destroy any further units. As each fight is independent, we find the
//! minimum boost value with a multithreaded parallel search.
