+
+### Test Failures Analysis
+
+#### Network-Related Failures (Environmental)
+
+**Root Cause:** DNS resolution failures in sandbox environment
+
+**Failed Tests:**
+1. `backtester/data/kline/api` - API data loading
+   - Cannot reach: api.binance.us
+2. `backtester/data/kline/live` - Live data fetching
+   - Cannot reach: www.okx.com
+3. `backtester/engine` - Engine integration tests
+   - Cannot reach: www.okx.com
+4. `backtester/eventhandlers/exchange` - Order execution
+   - Cannot reach: api.binance.us, api.btcmarkets.net
+5. `backtester/eventhandlers/exchange/slippage` - Slippage calculation
+   - Cannot reach: www.bitstamp.net
+6. `gctscript/wrappers/gct` - Script wrappers
+   - Cannot reach: www.bitstamp.net, api.btcmarkets.net
+7. `portfolio` - Portfolio balance fetching
+   - Cannot reach: api.ethplorer.io, api.xrpscan.com
+
+**Error Pattern:**
+```
+dial tcp: lookup <domain> on 127.0.0.53:53: server misbehaving
+```
+
+**Assessment:** ⚠️ These failures are **NOT code issues** but rather sandbox environment restrictions. The code is correct; the test environment blocks external network access.
+
+**Recommendation:** In production CI/CD, these tests should either:
+- Run with proper network access
+- Use mocked API responses
+- Be marked as integration tests requiring network
