-1. **10.1.3 - Expand SimEngine API Tests** (Priority: HIGH, Effort: Medium) - Issue [#44](https://github.com/TheWizardsCode/GEngine/issues/44)
-   - Why: Core engine test coverage gaps identified in coverage report
-   - Owner: Test Agent
-   - Parallelizable: Independent test work, no code dependencies
-   - Impact: Better regression detection for core simulation engine
-   - Estimated time: 2-3 days

+2. **8.3.2 - K8s Validation CI Job** (Priority: MEDIUM, Effort: Medium) - Issue [#31](https://github.com/TheWizardsCode/GEngine/issues/31)
+   - Why: Catch K8s manifest errors early in CI
+   - Owner needed: DevOps agent
+   - Parallelizable: Independent CI work
+   - Impact: Better deployment safety
+   - Estimated time: 1-2 days
+
+3. **9.4.1 - AI Tournaments & Balance Tooling** (Priority: LOW, Effort: High)

 **Key Risks:**
 
 - 🟡 **K8s CI validation missing** - Task 8.3.2 still pending but lower priority now that Phase 8 core is complete
 - ⚠️ **Phase 9 LLM enhancement ready** - Rule-based AI complete, LLM-enhanced (9.3.1) unblocked but needs owner
 - ✅ **Phase 8 deployment complete** - All core tasks done (8.1.1, 8.2.1, 8.3.1, 8.3.3, 8.4.1, metrics); only CI automation pending
-- ✅ **Phase 10 test coverage started** - Epic created (10.1.1), two high-priority tasks ready (#44, #45)
+- ✅ **Phase 10 test coverage COMPLETE** - Epic 10.1.1 and all child tasks (10.1.2–10.1.8) completed; 849 tests at 90.95% coverage
 - ✅ **Phase 7 delivery risk eliminated** - All core player features complete and tested, per-agent modifiers enabled by default
-- ✅ **Repository hygiene excellent** - Issues #23, #43 closed today; clean issue backlog with clear priorities
+- ✅ **Repository hygiene excellent** - Issues #23, #43, #45 addressed; clean issue backlog with clear priorities
