+### 2026-03-01: Triage + Dependabot Cleanup Round
+
+**Objective:** Triage 3 open issues, merge 6 Dependabot PRs.
+
+#### Issues Triaged
+
+1. **Issue #755** (HP encapsulation) — Already **CLOSED**. Resolved by PR #789 (merged 2026-03-01).
+2. **Issue #766** (Stryker manifest) — Already **CLOSED**. Resolved by PR #785 (merged 2026-03-01).
+3. **Issue #745** (ANSI escape in ShowMessage) — Bug already fixed in codebase. Lines 549/578 of `Engine/GameLoop.cs` now use `_display.ShowError()` instead of raw ANSI via `ColorCodes.Red`. **Closed** with comment.
+
+#### Dependabot PRs
+
+| PR | Title | Action | Rationale |
+|----|-------|--------|-----------|
+| #788 | xunit.runner.visualstudio 3.1.4→3.1.5 | **Merged** | Minor bump; CI failures are pre-existing arch tests |
+| #787 | Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk 17.14.1→18.3.0 | **Merged** | Major version but builds clean; same pre-existing test failures |
+| #786 | FluentAssertions 6.12.2→8.8.0 | **Closed** | Major version with breaking API changes; needs dedicated migration |
+| #784 | actions/setup-dotnet 4→5 | **Merged** | Rebased first; GH Actions workflow change, no code impact |
+| #783 | actions/github-script 7→8 | **Merged** | Rebased first; GH Actions workflow change, no code impact |
+| #782 | actions/upload-artifact 4→7 | **Merged** | Rebased first; GH Actions workflow change, no code impact |
+
+#### Notes
+- PRs #784, #783, #782 were stale (missing HP encapsulation from PR #789). Triggered `@dependabot rebase` which resolved the build errors.
+- All CI failures across all merged PRs are the same 4–5 pre-existing architecture test failures (Models→Systems dependency violation, GenericEnemy missing JsonDerivedType, RunStats history test).
+- Final test run on master: **1394 total, 1389 passed, 5 pre-existing failures, 0 regressions.**

+# Coulson — Triage + Dependabot Cleanup Round
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-01
+**Agent:** Coulson (Lead)
+**Requested by:** Anthony
+
+## Issues Triaged
+
+### Issue #755: HP Encapsulation
+**Status:** Already closed. Resolved by PR #789 (merged 2026-03-01) which completed HP encapsulation — private setter, `SetHPDirect` for internal mutations, `[JsonInclude]` for serialization.
+
+### Issue #766: Stryker Manifest
+**Status:** Already closed. Resolved by PR #785 (merged 2026-03-01) which added `.config/dotnet-tools.json` to pin Stryker version.
+
+### Issue #745: ANSI Escape Codes in ShowMessage
+**Status:** Closed. Bug already fixed in codebase — `Engine/GameLoop.cs` lines 549 and 578 now use `_display.ShowError()` instead of embedding raw `ColorCodes.Red`/`ColorCodes.Reset` in `ShowMessage()`.
+
+## Dependabot PRs — Decisions
+
+### D1: Merge xunit.runner.visualstudio 3.1.5 (#788)
+**Decision:** Merged. Minor patch bump, no breaking changes.
+
+### D2: Merge Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk 18.3.0 (#787)
+**Decision:** Merged. Major version bump but builds cleanly and all tests pass (same pre-existing failures as master). No API breakage observed.
+
+### D3: Close FluentAssertions 8.8.0 (#786)
+**Decision:** Closed without merge. FluentAssertions v6→v8 is a major version bump with significant breaking API changes (assertion syntax changes, removed methods, `BeEquivalentTo` behavior changes). Test suite uses FluentAssertions extensively — this needs a dedicated migration effort, not a Dependabot auto-merge.
+
+**Action Item:** Open issue to track FluentAssertions v8 migration as planned work.
+
+### D4: Merge actions/setup-dotnet v5 (#784)
+**Decision:** Merged after rebase. GitHub Actions workflow change only; no code impact.
+
+### D5: Merge actions/github-script v8 (#783)
+**Decision:** Merged after rebase. GitHub Actions workflow change only; no code impact.
+
+### D6: Merge actions/upload-artifact v7 (#782)
+**Decision:** Merged after rebase. GitHub Actions workflow change only; no code impact.
+
+## Pre-existing Test Failures (Not Addressed Here)
+
+5 pre-existing failures on master — these are tracked separately:
+1. `ArchitectureTests.Models_Must_Not_Depend_On_Systems` — Merchant→MerchantInventoryConfig, Player→SkillTree/Skill
+2. `ArchitectureTests.AllEnemySubclasses_MustHave_JsonDerivedTypeAttribute` — GenericEnemy missing attribute
+3. `ArchitectureTests.Engine_Must_Not_Depend_On_Data` (2 violations)
+4. `RunStatsTests.RecordRunEnd_CalledForTrapDeath_HistoryContainsEntry`
+
+## Final State
+- **Master tests:** 1394 total, 1389 passed, 5 pre-existing failures
+- **Issues closed:** 3 (#755, #766, #745)
+- **PRs merged:** 5 (#788, #787, #784, #783, #782)
+- **PRs closed:** 1 (#786 — FluentAssertions major version)
+- **No regressions introduced.**
