Support API keys from environment variables

Check OPENAI_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variables first,
fall back to api_keys.txt file if not set. This allows the Docker
container to receive API keys via environment without needing a file.

+### Pre-Commit Checklist
+
+**MANDATORY: Before running `git commit`, verify:**
+
+1. **If you modified any BUILD.bazel file:** Run `bazel run gazelle` and stage any changes it makes
+2. **If you modified C++ or C# files:** Run `clang-format -i` on the modified files
+3. **If you modified Scala files:** scalafmt will run automatically via pre-commit hook
+
+The pre-commit hook runs gazelle but only checks if it succeeds - it does NOT verify the BUILD files are in canonical format. The `gazelle_test` will fail if deps are not alphabetically sorted. **Always run gazelle manually after BUILD file changes.**

+### Scala Testing Patterns
+
+**Use `inside()` instead of `asInstanceOf` for type matching in tests:**
+
+Never use `asInstanceOf` in tests. Instead, use ScalaTest's `inside()` pattern for safe type matching:
+
+```scala
+// BAD - don't do this
+val changedHero = result.changedHeroes.head.asInstanceOf[ChangedHeroC]
+changedHero.heroId shouldBe 19
+
+// GOOD - use inside() pattern
+import org.scalatest.Inside.inside
+
+inside(result.changedHeroes.head) { case changedHero: ChangedHeroC =>
+  changedHero.heroId shouldBe 19
+  changedHero.vigorChange shouldBe StatDelta(17.2)
+}
+```
+
+The `inside()` pattern:
+- Provides better error messages when the type doesn't match
+- Is idiomatic ScalaTest
+- Works with pattern matching for more complex assertions

+## Troubleshooting Scala Build Errors
+
+### MissingType Errors
+
+When you see errors like:
+```
+dotty.tools.dotc.core.MissingType: Cannot resolve reference to type net.eagle0.eagle.internal.game_state.type.GameState
+```
+
+**This is NOT a Scala compiler crash.** This is a missing dependency in BUILD.bazel.
+
+**How to fix:**
+1. Identify the missing type from the error message (e.g., `game_state.GameState`)
+2. Find the Bazel target that provides this type (e.g., `//src/main/protobuf/net/eagle0/eagle/internal:game_state_scala_proto`)
+3. Add it to the `deps` of the failing target
+4. If the type appears in a public method signature, also add it to `exports` so downstream targets can see it
+
+**Common pattern:** When adding a method to a class that takes or returns a proto type, the proto dependency often needs to be added to both `deps` AND `exports`.
+
+### Bazel Clean
+
+**NEVER run `bazel clean` without asking first.** It rarely fixes actual issues and wastes significant rebuild time. The issues that seem like they need `bazel clean` are usually:
+- Missing imports in Scala code
+- Missing dependencies in BUILD.bazel
+- Missing exports for types used in public signatures
+

+## Current State
+
+### Completed Phases
+
+| Phase | Status | Summary |
+|-------|--------|---------|
+| Phase 1: GameStateC | **Complete** | Scala `GameState` model with 22 fields |
+| Phase 2: EngineImpl | **Complete** | Holds Scala `GameState` internally |
+| Phase 3: GameHistory | **Complete** | `stateAfter` returns Scala GameState |
+| Phase 4: ActionResultT | **Complete** | All 59 actions return `ActionResultT` |
+| Phase 5: Action Base Classes | **Complete** | All `RandomSequentialResultsAction` and `DeterministicSingleResultAction` converted to T-type base classes |
+| Phase 5b: Base Class Cleanup | **Complete** | `RandomSequentialResultsAction` and `DeterministicSingleResultAction` deleted |
+| Phase 5c: RoundPhaseAdvancer Actions | **Complete** | All actions called by RoundPhaseAdvancer accept Scala GameState |
+| Phase 5d: RoundPhaseAdvancer Itself | **Complete** | RoundPhaseAdvancer.checkForPhaseAdvancement takes Scala GameState |
+
+### Phase 5c/5d Progress (Complete)
+
+`RoundPhaseAdvancer.checkForPhaseAdvancement` now accepts Scala `GameState` and `ActionResultApplier` directly (PR #4677).
+
+| Action | PR | Status |
+|--------|-----|--------|
+| `PrisonerExchangeAction` | #4670 | ✅ Merged |
+| `PerformForcedTurnBackAction` | #4671 | ✅ Merged |
+| `PerformHeroDeparturesAction` | #4672 | ✅ Merged |
+| `RequestFreeForAllBattlesAction` | #4673 | ✅ Merged |
+| `EndPlayerCommandsPhaseAction` | #4674 | ✅ Merged |
+| `EndDiplomacyResolutionPhaseAction` | #4675 | ✅ Merged |
+| `RoundPhaseAdvancer` itself | #4677 | ✅ Merged |
+
+### EngineImpl Progress
+
+| Change | PR | Status |
+|--------|-----|--------|
+| `recursiveTransform` deleted | #4677 | ✅ Merged |
+| `recursiveTransformT` uses `RandomStateTSequencer` | #4677 | ✅ Merged |
+
+### Current Architecture
+
+**ActionResultT Production (100% Complete):**
+- All actions produce `ActionResultT`
+- Conversion to `ActionResultProto` happens via `ActionResultProtoConverter.toProto()`
+- No direct `ActionResultProto` construction outside the converter
+
+**ActionResultProto Consumption (Next Target):**
+- `ActionResultProtoApplierImpl` - applies proto results to proto GameState
+- `RoundPhaseAdvancer` - calls converter, passes protos to applier
+- `InMemoryHistory` / `PersistedHistory` - stores proto results
+- Service layer (`GameController`, `GamesManager`, etc.) - uses proto for client communication
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Migrate to ActionResultT Consumers
+
+### Objective
+
+Eliminate internal consumption of `ActionResultProto`. Everything inside the engine should work with `ActionResultT`.
+
+### Current Flow (Proto-Heavy)
+```
+Action.execute()
+    → ActionResultT
+    → ActionResultProtoConverter.toProto()
+    → ActionResultProto
+    → ActionResultProtoApplierImpl.applyActionResults()
+    → GameStateProto
+    → GameStateConverter.fromProto()
+    → GameStateC
+```
+
+### Target Flow (T-Types Throughout)
+```
+Action.execute()
+    → ActionResultT
+    → ActionResultApplier.applyActionResults()
+    → GameStateC
+
+    (Proto conversion only at boundaries)
+```
+
+### Key Files to Convert
+
+**Tier 1 - Core Applier:** ✅ **Complete**
+```
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/applier/ActionResultApplierImpl.scala
+```
+`ActionResultApplier` applies `ActionResultT` directly to Scala `GameState`. The legacy `ActionResultTApplierImpl` wraps it and converts to/from proto for callers that still need proto types.
+
+**Tier 2 - RoundPhaseAdvancer:** ✅ **Complete**
+```
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/RoundPhaseAdvancer.scala
+```
+Now accepts Scala `GameState` and `ActionResultApplier`. Only converts to proto lazily for `AvailableCommandsFactory` calls.
+
+**Tier 3 - Sequencers:**
+```
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/impl/common/RandomStateTSequencer.scala
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/library/actions/impl/common/RandomStateProtoSequencer.scala
+```
+Modify `RandomStateTSequencer` to thread Scala `GameState` throughout (currently converts to proto internally). Then evaluate whether `RandomStateProtoSequencer` is still needed at all.
+
+**Current State**: `RandomStateTSequencer` accepts Scala `GameState` via its `apply()` method but internally converts to proto. All callback methods (`withRandomActionResult`, `withActionResults`, etc.) pass `GameStateProto` to callers, forcing actions that use the sequencer to work with proto types internally.
+
+**Target State**: Create a fully protoless sequencer where:
+1. `lastState` returns Scala `GameState` (not `lastStateProto`)
+2. All callback methods pass Scala `GameState` to callers
+3. Actions using the sequencer can be fully protoless
+
+**Migration Path**:
+1. Add `lastState: GameState` method alongside `lastStateProto` (non-breaking)
+2. Add parallel callback methods that pass Scala GameState (e.g., `withScalaActionResult`)
+3. Migrate actions one by one to use the new Scala-based callbacks
+4. Once all actions migrated, deprecate/remove proto-based callbacks
+5. Remove `lastStateProto` once no longer used
+
+**RandomStateSequencer Migration Progress** (PR #4679 introduced protoless `RandomStateSequencer`):
+
+| Action | Status |
+|--------|--------|
+| `TruceTurnBackPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4680) |
+| `EndHandleRiotsPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4684) |
+| `PerformVassalCommandsPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `PerformVassalDefenseDecisionsAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `EndVassalCommandsPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `PerformReconResolutionAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `NewRoundAction` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4698) |
+| `EndBattleAftermathPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4699) |
+| `EndDiplomacyResolutionPhaseAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `PerformUnaffiliatedHeroesAction` | ✅ Migrated |
+| `EngineImpl.recursiveTransformT` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4704) |
+| `ProtolessSequentialResultsActionWrapper` | ✅ Migrated (PR #4705) |
+| `LegacyRandomStateTSequencer` | ✅ **Deleted** (PR #4705) |
+
+**TCommandFactory Extraction** (PR #4684):
+
+To enable lightweight mocking of command creation in tests, `TCommandFactory` trait was extracted from `CommandFactory`. This allows tests to mock just the `makeTCommand` method without pulling in all 40+ command dependencies that `CommandFactory` requires.
+
+- `TCommandFactory` - lightweight trait with just `makeTCommand`
+- `CommandFactory extends TCommandFactory` - maintains backward compatibility
+- Actions accepting command factories now use `TCommandFactory` type for better testability
+
+**Tier 4 - History APIs:**
+```
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/InMemoryHistory.scala
+src/main/scala/net/eagle0/eagle/service/PersistedHistory.scala
+```
+Change APIs to vend Scala `GameState` and `ActionResultT` instead of proto versions. `PersistedHistory` converts to proto internally for disk persistence; `InMemoryHistory` doesn't need proto at all.
+
+### ActionResultProto Consumer Inventory
+
+| File | Usage | Status |
+|------|-------|--------|
+| `ActionResultApplierImpl.scala` | Applies ActionResultT to Scala GameState | ✅ **Complete** |
+| `ActionResultTApplierImpl.scala` | Legacy wrapper - converts to/from proto | Keep until all callers migrated |
+| `RoundPhaseAdvancer.scala` | Uses Scala GameState | ✅ **Complete** |
+| `RandomStateSequencer.scala` | Threads Scala GameState | ✅ **Complete** |
+| `VigorXPApplier.scala` | Has both proto and Scala methods | Scala method exists, delete proto method when unused |
+| `PerformForcedTurnBackAction.scala` | Fully protoless | ✅ **Complete** |
+| `ResolveBattleAction.scala` | Heavy proto usage | Blocked by proto dependencies |
+| `InMemoryHistory.scala` | Stores proto results | Pending - vend Scala types |
+| `PersistedHistory.scala` | Stores proto results | Pending - vend Scala types, convert for disk |
+| `GameController.scala` | Uses proto for client communication | Keep proto (gRPC boundary) |
+
+### Remaining Proto Usage in Actions
+
+**Progress: 47 of 52 action files (90%) are fully protoless.**
+
+The following 5 actions still have proto usage:
+
+| Action | Proto Usages | Blocker | Effort |
+|--------|--------------|---------|--------|
+| `ResolveBattleAction` | 24 | Shardok interface, complex battle logic | High |
+| `PerformVassalCommandsPhaseAction` | 3 | `CommandChoiceHelpers` takes proto GameState | Medium |
+| `EndHandleRiotsPhaseAction` | 2 | `CommandChoiceHelpers` takes proto GameState | Medium |
+| `PerformVassalDefenseDecisionsAction` | 2 | `CommandChoiceHelpers` takes proto GameState | Medium |
+| `EndVassalCommandsPhaseAction` | 1 | `CommandChoiceHelpers` takes proto GameState | Medium |
+
+**Note:** `NewRoundAction` is now fully protoless after converting `ChronicleEventGenerator` to return Scala `ChronicleEvent` types directly.
+
+**Deleted Dead Code:**
+- `UnaffiliatedHeroMovedAction` - Was never called; `PerformUnaffiliatedHeroesAction.heroMovedResult` constructs `ActionResultC` directly
+- `HeroBackstoryUpdateActionGenerator.fromGameState` - Dead method that converted proto to Scala; only `apply(GameState)` is used
+
+**Note**: `PerformReconResolutionAction` and `EndBattleAftermathPhaseAction` are now fully protoless after:
+1. Migrating `FactionT.reconnedProvinces` and `ChangedFactionC.updatedReconnedProvinces` to use Scala `ProvinceView`
+2. Adding Scala overload of `ProvinceViewFilter.withdrawnFromProvinceView`
+
+### Estimated Effort (Remaining)
+
+| Component | Lines | Complexity | Blocks |
+|-----------|-------|------------|--------|
+| `CommandChoiceHelpers` to Scala | ~2000 | High | 4 vassal actions |
+| `ResolveBattleAction` refactor | ~500 | High | 1 action (complex) |
+| History API updates | ~100 | Low | - |
+| **Total Remaining** | **~2600** | | |
+
+**Completed:**
+- `ChronicleEventGenerator` converted to return Scala `ChronicleEvent` types directly
+
+### Progress Summary
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Action files fully protoless | 47 / 52 (90%) |
+| Proto usages in remaining actions | 32 total |
+| Biggest blocker | `ResolveBattleAction` (24 usages) |
+| Second biggest blocker | `CommandChoiceHelpers` (blocks 4 actions) |
+
+### Validation
+- [x] `ActionResultApplier` created and tested
+- [x] `RandomStateSequencer` threads Scala GameState throughout
+- [x] `RoundPhaseAdvancer` uses T-types internally
+- [x] `ProvinceViewFilter` has Scala overload for server-side use (PR #4752)
+- [x] `FactionT.reconnedProvinces` and `ChangedFactionC.updatedReconnedProvinces` use Scala `ProvinceView`
+- [x] `ProvinceViewFilter.withdrawnFromProvinceView` has Scala overload
+- [ ] `ProvinceViewFilter` faction-filtered views use Scala types
+- [ ] `CommandChoiceHelpers` uses Scala types
+- [ ] History APIs vend Scala types
+- [ ] No `ActionResultProtoConverter.toProto()` calls except at persistence/gRPC boundaries
+- [ ] All tests pass
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7: Clean Up Legacy Utilities
+
+### Objective
+Remove remaining direct proto imports from utility classes.
+
+### Files to Modify
+
+| File | Status |
+|------|--------|
+| `CommandChoiceHelpers.scala` | Accepts proto `GameState`; blocks full deproto of `PerformVassalCommandsPhaseAction` and `PerformVassalDefenseDecisionsAction` |
+| `LegacyProvinceUtils.scala` | Replace with `ProvinceUtils.scala` - `hasImminentRiot` added (PR #4683) |
+| `LegacyFactionUtils.scala` | Replace proto imports with `FactionT` |
+| `LegacyUnaffiliatedHeroUtils.scala` | Replace proto imports with Scala models |
+| `BattalionTypeLoader.scala` | Keep proto for file loading, convert immediately after |
+| `BeastUtils.scala` | **Complete** - now uses Scala `BeastInfo` only |
+
+### View Filters (Partially Complete)
+
+The view filter utilities now have Scala overloads for server-side use:
+
+| File | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| `ProvinceViewFilter.scala` | **Partial** | `filteredProvinceView(ProvinceT, ScalaGameState)` added (PR #4752) |
+| `ArmyFilter.scala` | **Partial** | `filterArmy(ScalaArmy, Map[BattalionId, BattalionT], Option[FactionId])` added |
+| `BattalionViewFilter.scala` | **Complete** | Uses Scala `BattalionT` throughout |
+| `GameStateViewFilter.scala` | Pending | Uses proto types throughout |
+| `GameStateViewDiffer.scala` | Pending | Works with view protos |
+
+**Unblocked Actions** (PR #4752):
+- `EndBattleAftermathPhaseAction` - can now use `filteredProvinceView(province, scalaGameState)`
+- `PerformReconResolutionAction` - can now use Scala overload
+- `GameStateFactionExtensions` - can now use `updatedReconnedProvinces` with Scala types
+
+**Remaining Work**:
+- Faction-filtered `filteredProvinceView(Province, GameState, FactionId)` still uses proto types
+- `withdrawnFromProvinceView` still uses proto types
+- These are needed for client-facing views with visibility restrictions
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8: Verify Boundaries
+
+### Objective
+Confirm protos are used correctly at boundaries — and ONLY there.
+
+### Expected Proto Usage (Keep)
+- `EagleServiceImpl.scala` - gRPC boundary
+- `InMemoryHistory.scala` / `PersistedHistory.scala` - Persistence boundary
+- `*Converter.scala` - Explicit conversion utilities
+- `*Loader.scala` - File loading utilities
+
+### Expected No Proto Usage (Verify)
+- `/library/actions/impl/` - Pure Scala models
+- `/library/util/` - Pure Scala models (except loaders)
+- `/model/state/` - Pure Scala models
+
+---
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Persistence Format**: Currently game state is persisted as proto. Should we keep proto for persistence (good for schema evolution) or switch to a different format?
+
+2. **Shardok Integration**: `ResolveBattleAction` communicates with Shardok. Should the Shardok interface use protos (external service) or Scala models?
+
+3. **View Generation**: `GameStateViewDiffer` works with view protos for client updates. Views need Scala models (`ProvinceViewT`, etc.) to allow actions like `EndBattleAftermathPhaseAction` to be fully protoless. The Scala views would be converted to proto only at the gRPC boundary when sending updates to clients.
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+### Code Quality
+- [ ] Zero proto imports in `/library/actions/` (except boundaries)
+- [ ] Zero proto imports in `/library/` utilities (except loaders)
+- [ ] `GameStateT` used throughout engine internals
+- [ ] Proto usage limited to: `EagleServiceImpl`, loaders, converters, persistence
+
+### Architecture
+- [ ] Clear separation: Scala models (internal) vs Proto (boundaries)
+- [ ] Converters as the only bridge between domains
+- [ ] No "proto creep" into business logic

+You are summarizing changes for a weekly engineering update email.
+
+Read the following list of merged PRs and create a concise synopsis grouped by theme/feature/area of the codebase.
+
+Structure:
+1. <h1> title (e.g., "Eagle0 Weekly Update")
+2. <h2>BLUF</h2> (Bottom Line Up Front) - A short prose paragraph (2-4 sentences) highlighting the 1-3 most important changes this week and what to look for when testing. This should be conversational and help readers quickly understand what matters most.
+3. Synopsis sections (<h2> headings with bullet point summaries)
+4. <hr> divider
+5. <h2>PR Details</h2> with the same groupings, but smaller (<h3> headings) and listing PR links
+   - Format each PR as: <a href="${repo_url}/pull/NUMBER">#NUMBER</a>: Title
+
+Guidelines for the SYNOPSIS sections:
+- Group related changes together under clear headings (use <h2> tags)
+- Use bullet points (<ul><li>) for individual changes
+- Highlight any significant new features, breaking changes, or important fixes
+- Keep the tone professional but accessible
+- Don't include PR numbers in the synopsis - focus on what changed and why it matters
+
+IMPORTANT: Output valid HTML that can be used directly in an email body. Do NOT wrap in \`\`\`html code blocks - just output the raw HTML.
+
+Here are the merged PRs:
