Today was focused on improving test stability and aligning the project with the standards outlined in CLAUDE.md. I got most of the unit tests passing — only 9 remain, and they look solvable once the audit-driven changes are complete.

The CLAUDE.md audit is yielding real architectural benefits. I migrated several core managers to the new event-based system, simplifying responsibilities and improving modularity. Each change feels like it’s setting the foundation for long-term scalability, especially as we head into more complex systems like AI behavior and diplomacy.

Still no movement on Phase 6 tasks (Galaxy Generation and AI), but I'm confident that clearing this audit hurdle will unlock progress across the board.
