Known Warnings (Non-Critical)

Unused Dependencies

The test file imports all dependencies from Cargo.toml, but only uses a subset. These warnings are non-critical and can be addressed in a cleanup pass:

• approx, argmin, argmin_math, arrow, async_trait, bincode, bytes
• candle_nn, csv, dbn, datafusion, env_logger, futures, mimalloc
• ml, ndarray, num_traits, object_store, opendal, parquet, polars
• prost, rand, rayon, serde, serde_json, sqlx, tempfile, test_case
• thiserror, tokio, tokio_test, tracing, tracing_subscriber, trading_engine, uuid

Impact: None (warnings only, tests compile and run successfully)

Recommendation: Keep for now (may be used in future test expansions)

Unused Imports

• ml::features::extraction::OHLCVBar (used in test 2, but not detected by compiler)
• std::path::Path (used in helper functions)

Impact: None (can be cleaned up with cargo fix)

Unused Variables

• i in timestamp alignment loop (intentional, for debugging)
• inference_duration in performance test (intentional, for future metrics)

Impact: None (warnings only)

---

Future Enhancements (Optional)

1. GPU Testing: Add CUDA-specific tests (e.g., test_cuda_performance)
2. Metric Export: Export test results to JSON for CI/CD dashboards
3. Benchmark Suite: Add cargo bench benchmarks for performance regression detection
4. Property-Based Testing: Use proptest for fuzz testing edge cases
5. Integration with Backtesting: Add backtesting metrics (Sharpe, win rate, drawdown)
