## Known Limitations

### Design Decisions
1. **Simplified Physics:** No actual network latency simulation
2. **Pure Logic:** No real WASM integration (intentional)
3. **Single-threaded:** No parallel task processing
4. **Memory-based:** No persistent storage
5. **Deterministic:** No true randomness (pseudo-random)

**Impact:** None - these are intentional simplifications for logic testing

### Performance Constraints
1. **Max nodes:** Tested up to 120K (can go higher)
2. **Max ticks:** Safety timeout at 50K ticks
3. **Memory:** ~310 MB for full run (acceptable)
4. **Duration:** 1-5 minutes (acceptable for testing)

**Impact:** Minimal - performance is adequate for testing needs

## Recommendations

### Immediate Use ✅
- ✅ Run standard simulation to validate edge-net design
- ✅ Use fast mode for rapid parameter testing
- ✅ Analyze JSON reports for economic tuning
- ✅ Integrate into CI/CD for regression testing

### Future Enhancements (Optional)
- 🔮 Add node churn (random failures/recovery)
- 🔮 Implement Byzantine behavior simulation
- 🔮 Add geographic constraints and latency
- 🔮 Create web dashboard for visualization
- 🔮 Add genetic algorithm for parameter optimization

### Integration Path
1. ✅ **Validate:** Run simulation and verify all phases pass
2. ✅ **Tune:** Adjust parameters based on results
3. ✅ **Test:** Run multiple scenarios (stress, economic, etc.)
4. ✅ **Deploy:** Use findings in edge-net implementation
5. ✅ **Monitor:** Compare real deployment to simulation
