⏳ Remaining Work (Phase C)

1. Enhanced Monitoring (Pending)

• Alerting engine
• Metrics collection
• WebSocket event streaming
• Enhanced health checks

2. MHVTL Integration (Future Enhancement)

📝 Known Limitations

1. Delete Library: Requires library to be inactive first (by design for safety)
2. MHVTL Integration: Current implementation is database-only; actual MHVTL device integration pending
3. Device Paths: device_path and stable_path are NULL until MHVTL integration is complete
4. Physical Tape: Requires physical hardware for full testing
