- Admin panel provides toggle UI

### Admin Panel
**Features:**
- Visual toggle switches for all 19 flags
- Real-time backend sync (with localStorage fallback)
- Reset to defaults button
- Change listeners for live updates

**Location:** `dashboard.js:314-320` (renders feature flags UI)

### Supported Flags (19 total)
- `enableWhaleTracking`
- `enableMarketOverview`
- `enableFearGreedIndex`

## ⚠️ KNOWN LIMITATIONS

### 1. Charts Not Fully Implemented
**Status:** INCOMPLETE
**Reason:** Focus was on structure and all critical audit issues
**Current State:** Chart.js is loaded, containers are ready
**Required:** Implement chart initialization in `dashboard.js` or separate `charts.js`

### 2. Advanced Search Not Functional
**Status:** PLACEHOLDER
**Location:** `unified_dashboard.html:53-56`
**Current State:** Search input exists but has no backend wiring
**Required:** Implement search logic and backend endpoint

### 3. User Menu Not Implemented
**Status:** PLACEHOLDER
**Location:** `unified_dashboard.html:66-68`
**Current State:** Button exists but no dropdown
**Required:** Implement authentication and user profile features

### 4. Modal Forms Not Implemented
**Status:** INCOMPLETE
**Example:** Create Pool button shows alert instead of modal
**Location:** `dashboard.js:414-416`
**Required:** Implement modal component and form handling

### 5. Some Admin Settings Client-Only
**Status:** PARTIAL
**Current State:** Feature flags use backend, other settings use localStorage
**Recommendation:** Create backend endpoints for all settings

---

## 🚀 DEPLOYMENT NOTES

### Browser Support
- **Modern Browsers:** Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+, Edge 90+
