5. Documentation updated based on validation findings (Stories 2.1-2.3)
6. All new methods documented (Stories 2.4-2.6.6)
7. Final implementation checklist shows 100% completion
8. CHANGELOG updated for version 0.10.0
9. Version bumped to 0.10.0 in package.json
10. All documentation files consistent and accurate
