# Recommendations & Suggestions

## 🔧 Technical Recommendations

### 1. Dependency Resolution (CCIPLogger)

#### Current Issue
Hardhat cannot resolve @openzeppelin/contracts@5.0.2 even though it's installed.

#### Recommendations
1. **Check Hardhat Resolver**
   ```javascript
   // In hardhat.config.js, add:
