Easing into Modern C++

" summary

Seven small, adoptable C++ changes that pay off immediately: override found a four year old bug; use underlying enum types to make serialization and forward declarations simpler; prefer auto for function-pointer types and in-class member initialization to improve debug performance; replace C arrays with std::array-style patterns for extra type safety and make unwanted operations fail with deleted special member functions for clearer compile errors; add explicit operator bool and use chrono for robust time handling.
