- The user tested the boss fight: all good.
- Adds taken back by Intake Pools now sink visibly (Reconsumed: cold tint, sink over 0.9 s, no loot or XP), with a once-per-fight announcement "The pool takes the Received back." (ui.boss.reconsumed).
- Polydegmon's HP was set to 100 for the test and is now back to 2400 (Stats_Boss_Polydegmon).
- Next: Gate 1 playtest (the user's call), then Step 18.
