## 🔧 Integration Points

### Ensemble Coordinator Integration

**File**: `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/trading_service/src/ensemble_coordinator.rs`

**Changes Made**:
1. Added imports for metrics helper structs
2. **Automatic latency tracking**: `Instant::now()` → `elapsed().as_micros()`
3. **Automatic prediction metrics**: `EnsemblePredictionMetrics::record()` after every prediction
4. **Weight update metrics**: `ModelWeightUpdate::record()` when weights are updated
5. **New method**: `record_model_pnl()` for P&L attribution

**Code Example**:
```rust
// Automatic prediction metric recording
let metrics = EnsemblePredictionMetrics {
    symbol: "ES.FUT".to_string(),
    action: format!("{:?}", decision.action).to_lowercase(),
    confidence: decision.confidence,
    disagreement_rate: decision.disagreement_rate,
    aggregation_latency_us,
    aggregation_method: "weighted_average".to_string(),
};
metrics.record();
```

### Helper Structs (5 total)

**File**: `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/trading_service/src/ensemble_metrics.rs`

1. **`EnsemblePredictionMetrics`**: Records metrics 1-4, 6 (confidence, disagreement, predictions, latency, high disagreement)
2. **`ModelWeightUpdate`**: Records metric 5 (model weights)
3. **`ModelPnLAttribution`**: Records metric 7 (P&L contribution)
4. **`CheckpointSwapEvent`**: Records metric 8 (checkpoint swaps)
5. **`ABTestAssignment`**: Records metric 9 (A/B test assignments)
6. **`ABTestMetricDiff`**: Records metric 10 (A/B test metric differences)

**Usage**:
```rust
// Record checkpoint swap
let swap = CheckpointSwapEvent {
    model_id: "DQN".to_string(),
    status: CheckpointSwapStatus::Success,
};
swap.record();

// Record A/B test assignment
let assignment = ABTestAssignment {
    test_id: "test-001".to_string(),
    group: ABTestGroup::Treatment,
};
assignment.record();
```
