Known Issues

1. SQLX Offline Cache (Minor)

Issue: Initial test run with SQLX_OFFLINE=true failed due to empty cache Workaround: Set SQLX_OFFLINE=false for tests requiring database queries Impact: None (tests pass with workaround) Resolution: Wave D queries are optional (only run if DB pool provided)

2. Memory Exhaustion on Full Suite (Minor)

Issue: Running all 6 tests concurrently causes OOM kill (exit code 137) Workaround: Run tests individually (demonstrated 6/6 passing) Impact: CI/CD requires sequential test execution Root Cause: Large dataset generation (2000 bars × 225 features = 3.5MB per test)

Performance Monitoring

1. Track feature extraction latency in production (<10μs target)
2. Monitor memory usage (expect ~1.75KB per bar)
3. Alert on NaN/Inf values (zero tolerance)
4. Track regime transition rate (expect 1-5%)
