### 🎯 Key Features Deployed
**API Consistency Enhancement**:
```python
# Pattern 1: Original (still works)
config = ml.setup_ml_experiment(df, 'target', val_size=0.2)
result = ml.validate_ml_data(config)

# Pattern 2: NEW - X, y direct parameters
result = ml.validate_ml_data(X=features_df, y=target_series, 
                           check_missing=True, check_cardinality=True)
```

**Problem Solved**: "unexpected keyword argument 'X'" error resolved
