# Backend Harmonization Verification

**Date**: 2025-01-XX  
**Status**: ✅ **VERIFIED**

## Verification Checklist

### ✅ Compilation
- [x] All code compiles without errors
- [x] All feature combinations compile (`onnx`, `candle`, both, neither)
- [x] No warnings (except expected dead_code for feature-gated code)

### ✅ Test Coverage
- [x] Harmonization tests: 21/21 passing
- [x] Full test suite: 642/642 passing
- [x] Property-based tests cover all invariants
- [x] Integration tests verify trait combinations
- [x] Edge case tests (empty strings, large offsets, etc.)

### ✅ Trait Implementations
- [x] GpuCapable: 3/3 Candle backends implemented
- [x] BatchCapable: 5/5 eligible backends implemented
- [x] StreamingCapable: 5/5 eligible backends implemented
- [x] DiscontinuousNER: 1/1 eligible backend verified

### ✅ Catalog Accuracy
- [x] GLiNERCandle status: Beta (was WIP)
- [x] NuNER feature: onnx (was nuner)
- [x] NuNER status: Stable (was Planned)
- [x] All backend info matches implementation

### ✅ Code Quality
- [x] No dead code (removed CalibratedConfidence, VisualCapable)
- [x] No TODO/FIXME comments in backend code
- [x] All trait implementations documented
- [x] Consistent error handling

### ✅ Documentation
- [x] Harmonization plan documented
- [x] Implementation summary created
- [x] Backend interface review complete
- [x] Encoder trait design explained
- [x] PROBLEMS.md updated

### ✅ Backward Compatibility
- [x] No breaking API changes
- [x] All existing code continues to work
- [x] New traits are additive only

## Test Results

```bash
# Harmonization tests
$ cargo test --test trait_harmonization_tests
test result: ok. 21 passed; 0 failed

# Full test suite
$ cargo test --lib --features onnx,candle
test result: ok. 642 passed; 0 failed
```

## Implementation Counts

- **GpuCapable implementations**: 3
- **BatchCapable implementations**: 8 (was 3, added 5)
- **StreamingCapable implementations**: 8 (was 3, added 5)
- **DiscontinuousNER implementations**: 1 (verified existing)
- **Dead traits removed**: 2
- **Catalog entries fixed**: 2

## Files Changed

- **Backend files**: 9 modified
- **Test files**: 1 new (21 tests)
- **Documentation**: 5 new files
- **Total lines changed**: ~500 (additions), ~20 (removals)

## Impact

1. **Consistency**: All backends now have uniform trait coverage
2. **Discoverability**: Capabilities queryable via trait bounds
3. **Testability**: Comprehensive property-based test coverage
4. **Maintainability**: Dead code removed, design documented
5. **Reliability**: 642 tests verify correctness

## Conclusion

✅ **Harmonization complete and verified**. All backends are consistent, well-tested, and production-ready.
