## Known Limitations

### Current Implementation

1. **Sequential Trials**: n_jobs=1 (single GPU constraint)
   - **Impact**: 50 trials = 4-8 hours
   - **Mitigation**: Early stopping saves 10-15%
   - **Future**: Multi-GPU support for parallel trials

2. **MedianPruner Scope**: Inter-trial only (not intra-trial)
   - **Impact**: Cannot prune mid-epoch
   - **Current savings**: 10-15%
   - **Future**: Streaming gRPC for 30-50% savings (6-8h implementation)

3. **TFT Checkpoint**: Placeholder implementation
   - **Impact**: Checkpoints not persisted to MinIO yet
   - **Status**: Metadata prepared, safetensors TODO
   - **Priority**: Low (non-blocking)

### Resolved Issues ✅

- ✅ TFT trainer compilation errors (27 errors) - Fixed in Wave 153
- ✅ GPU benchmark statistics (sample size) - Validated with 10 epochs
- ✅ All workspace compilation errors - Zero errors remaining
