Status: Pre-existing issue, not introduced by recent security fixes
Symptom: Test assertion fails with "Predator failed to survive or failed to eat prey (Pop: 0)"
Root Cause: Under investigation - appears to be a simulation stability issue where both predator and prey die instead of expected predation behavior
Impact: Low - Single test in social dynamics test suite
Resolution: Requires debugging of inter-tribe predation logic. Test passes on some runs but fails on others, suggesting a timing or sequence dependency.
Workaround: Run tests with --test-threads=1 to reduce flakiness (though this doesn't fully resolve the issue).
Priority: LOW - Does not block security fixes or production deployment
