Known Limitations

Current Test Gaps

  1. SIMD Optimizations (Low Priority)

    • PQ SIMD tests not yet implemented
    • Will add when SIMD feature is ready

  2. Distributed Scenarios (Phase 4)

    • Multi-node testing deferred
    • Focus on single-node for now

  3. Large-Scale Tests (Resource Constrained)

    • Billion-vector tests not in CI
    • Can run manually for validation

  4. Fuzz Testing (Future Work)

    • Planned for Phase 3.1
    • Will use cargo-fuzz
