### Implementation Summary

This session successfully implemented **Model Evaluation Framework (APR-073)** completing the core observability loop:

#### 1. Model Evaluation Framework (APR-073) ✅
- **Standardized Metrics:** Accuracy, F1, Precision, Recall, Confusion Matrix (sklearn parity).
- **Drift Detection:** KS, Chi-Square, PSI (Population Stability Index).
- **Entrenar Integration:** AutoRetrainer with <10ms callback latency.
- **WASM Support:** Core logic verified on `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
- **Performance:** O(N) complexity, zero-allocation hot loops.
- **Examples:** `drift_simulation.rs`, `calibration_check.rs`.

#### 2. LLaMA 2 & Distillation Pipeline ✅
- Full distillation pipeline from HF models.
- SafeTensors support and metadata preservation.
- Memory benchmarks and optimization (QLoRA).
