  ISSUES FIXED
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Issue 1: DBN Field Access (Compilation Error)
  Error:  no field 'ts_event' on type 'OhlcvMsg'
  Fix:    record.ts_event → record.hd.ts_event
  File:   ml/tests/ppo_e2e_training.rs:72

Issue 2: DBN File Path (Runtime Error)
  Error:  No such file or directory
  Fix 1:  Use available file ml_training/ES.FUT_ohlcv-1m_2024-03-25.dbn
  Fix 2:  Add workspace root resolution env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR")
  File:   ml/tests/ppo_e2e_training.rs:33,50-53

Issue 3: Value Tensor Shape Mismatch (Runtime Error)
  Error:  unexpected rank, expected: 0, got: 1 ([1])
  Fix:    Add .get(0) before .to_scalar() to convert [1] → []
  File:   ml/src/ppo/ppo.rs:523-528
