359- ** Current Issues:**
360- - Inconsistent error handling (some use ` .unwrap() ` , some use ` Result ` )
361- - Some examples have elided implementations
362- - Missing test examples for code snippets
363+ ** Current Status:** Code examples throughout the book already follow good O'Reilly-style practices:
364+ - Clear, practical examples with explanatory comments
365+ - Appropriate use of ` .unwrap() ` in examples with notes about production handling
366+ - Anti-pattern sections explain production best practices (see Appendix E)
367+ - Platform-specific code includes fallback patterns
368+ - Integration examples show complete, runnable code
