⏳ Phase 3.5: Coordinate Explainability (PENDING)

Tools to understand and explain coordinate predictions.

Planned Tasks:
- Coordinate visualization
- Feature importance
- Attention visualization
- Debugging tools

Key Achievements

Phase 3.1 Highlights

1. Clean API Design:

   with DLMDataLoader(db_path, config=DLMConfig.create_default()) as loader:
       graph = loader.load_conversation("conv_123")
       children = graph.get_children(root_id)

2. Performance Optimizations:
- Batch queries: O(n) → O(1) database calls
- Coordinate caching
- Optional embedding caching
- SQLite WAL mode enabled

3. Integration Success:
- Seamlessly uses Week 2's DLMConfig
- Loads Week 2's DLMCoordinate (x,y,z,t)
- Compatible with Week 2 logging (with fallback)
