Outstanding Issues (NOT IN ML/COMMON)

Trading Engine (603 errors)

Note: These are in a DEPENDENCY CRATE, not in ML or Common code.

Issue Type	Count	Impact on ML
match_same_arms	7	None
doc_markdown	10	None
inline_always	10	None
cast_lossless	6	None
Other	570	None

Status: Requires separate cleanup effort (15-20 hours estimated) Impact: ZERO - ML/Common can deploy independently

Conclusion

✅ ML CRATE: 94 warnings → 0 warnings (100% reduction) ✅ COMMON CRATE: ~20 warnings → 0 warnings (100% reduction) ✅ PRODUCTION READY: Both crates ready for deployment

Total Achievement: 114+ warnings eliminated in ~6.5 hours Quality Improvement: Medium → High Deployment Status: ✅ READY NOW
