Next Steps for Production ### 9.1.

Known Gaps & Future Work ### 10.1. Implementation Pending The following components are **structurally defined but not yet fully implemented**: 1. **Regime Attribution**: PnL attribution by regime requires trade metadata - Test exists (`test_red_regime_attribution_analysis`) - Implementation pending: Add `regime_type` to trade metadata 2. **Real DBN Data Loading**: Currently uses mock data - Test structure exists in `wave_comparison.rs` - TODO: Integrate actual DBN data source ```rust // TODO: Integrate with existing DBN data source // let dbn_source = DbnDataSource::new(file_mapping).await?; // let bars = dbn_source.load_ohlcv_bars(symbol).await?; ``` 3. **Strategy Engine Integration**: Regime features need to be wired into strategy execution - Structure exists in `strategy_engine.rs` - TODO: Connect `enable_regime_features` parameter to feature extraction ### 10.2. Testing Status - **TDD Phase**: All tests are in **RED phase** (expected to fail initially) - **Next Phase**: GREEN phase (implement minimal code to pass tests) - **Final Phase**: REFACTOR (optimize and clean up) --- ## 11.
