## 🐛 Known Issues & Limitations
### Current Limitations
1. **Mock Data in Some Areas**
- SHAP explainability returns mock values
- Ownership projections are estimates
- Some salaries fallback to mock data
2. **NBA Only (Fully Functional)**
- NFL, MLB, NHL architecture ready but need data integration
- Can add quickly when needed
3. **Greedy Optimizer**
- Using greedy algorithm vs true LP solver
- Good enough for MVP, upgrade planned
### Node Version Warning
Build shows warnings about Node 18 vs 20 requirements for some packages. These are **non-critical** - the packages still work on Node 18.
To fix (optional):
- Update Dockerfile: `FROM node:20-alpine`
- Test thoroughly
