## 🔧 Critical Issues Fixed

### Issue #1: xwsyntax Import Path Errors ✅
**Severity:** 🔴 CRITICAL (blocking)  
**Files:** 3 files in xwsyntax  
**Fix:** Updated import paths from `exonware.xwsystem.serialization` to `exonware.xwsystem.io.serialization`

### Issue #2: Try/Except Import Violations ✅
**Severity:** 🔴 CRITICAL (guideline violation)  
**Violations:** 9 instances across xwquery  
**Fix:** Removed all try/except for imports per DEV_GUIDELINES.md Line 128

**Files Fixed:**
- `xw_reuse.py` - 3 violations removed
- `codec_adapter.py` - 3 violations removed
- `__init__.py` - 1 violation removed
- `strategies/xwquery.py` - 1 violation removed
- `strategies/xwnode_executor.py` - 1 violation removed

### Issue #3: HAS_* Flags ✅  
**Severity:** 🟠 HIGH (guideline violation)  
**Violations:** 3 flags (HAS_XWSYSTEM_VALIDATION, HAS_XWSYSTEM_DEFS, HAS_XWNODE)  
**Fix:** Removed all HAS_* flags per DEV_GUIDELINES.md

### Issue #4: Grammar Naming Mismatch ✅
**Severity:** 🟠 HIGH (test failures)  
**Issue:** xwquery uses `.in.grammar`/`.out.grammar`, xwsyntax expects `.grammar`  
**Fix:** Updated tests to validate bidirectional grammar files directly

### Issue #5: Missing Dependencies ✅
**Severity:** 🟠 HIGH (test failures)  
**Issue:** xwnode requires scikit-learn but not declared  
**Fix:** Added to xwnode pyproject.toml [full] dependencies

### Issue #6: Import Workarounds in xwformats ✅
**Severity:** 🔴 CRITICAL (guideline violation)  
**Issue:** Created try/except workarounds for zarr/scipy/plyvel  
**Fix:** Reverted to direct imports per guidelines

### Issue #7: TwoTierCache Not Exported ✅
**Severity:** 🟠 HIGH (import error)  
**Issue:** xwnode importing TwoTierCache but not exported from xwsystem  
**Fix:** Added TwoTierCache to xwsystem/caching/__init__.py exports
