Test 29 validates graceful degradation. + +### Q4: Will DQN training work immediately? +**A**: Tests 59-68 validate integration. Q-network input shape auto-adjusts to state_dim=43. + +### Q5: How long will migration take? +**A**: 5 days (40 hours): 1 day testing, 3 days implementation, 1 day validation. + +### Q6: What if tests fail after implementation? +**A**: Rollback plan provided. Git checkout original code, analyze failures, retry with fixes. + +### Q7: Do we need new test data? +**A**: No. Existing test_data/ES_FUT_180d.parquet works.
