## Key Achievements

### 1. Eliminated All Placeholders ✅

**Before:**

- Learned Index: PLACEHOLDER using OrderedDict

**After:**
- LSM Tree: Full production with WAL, bloom filters, background compaction
- BW Tree: True atomic CAS with mapping table and epoch GC
- Learned Index: Real ML model with scikit-learn integration

### 2. Fixed All Naming Inconsistencies ✅

**Before:**
```python
def snapshot(self) -> 'xPersistentTreeStrategy':  # ❌ Wrong prefix
    snapshot = xPersistentTreeStrategy(...)       # ❌ Wrong class name
```

**After:**
```python
def snapshot(self) -> 'PersistentTreeStrategy':  # ✅ Correct
    snapshot = PersistentTreeStrategy(...)       # ✅ Correct
```

### 3. Corrected All Strategy Type Classifications ✅

**Before:**
```python
class HashMapStrategy:
    STRATEGY_TYPE = NodeType.TREE  # ❌ Hash-based, not tree-based!
```

**After:**
```python
class HashMapStrategy:
    STRATEGY_TYPE = NodeType.HYBRID  # ✅ Correct: hash-based structure
```

### 4. Enhanced Production Features ✅

All major strategies now have:
- ✅ Production status in file headers
