## 🎯 Problem Analysis
**Classification**: API Quality + Security Patterns + Logging Standards + Code Optimization
**Location**: Multiple API files - circuit_breaker.py (SIM114), performance_optimizer.py, real_time_monitor.py (S110), workflow_engine.py (SIM102, S307), service_coordinator.py (SIM102)
**Impact**: API reliability, logging standards, security improvements, code maintainability excellence
<thinking>
Latest hook feedback reveals specific API quality patterns requiring resolution:
1. **Logic Optimization (Priority 1)**:
- SIM114: circuit_breaker.py - combine if branches using logical OR operator
- SIM102: Multiple nested if statements in workflow_engine.py and service_coordinator.py
2. **Logging Standards (Priority 2)**:
- S110: Multiple try-except-pass patterns in performance_optimizer.py and real_time_monitor.py
- Need proper logging with context and error details
3. **Security Patterns (Priority 3)**:
- S307: Use of possibly insecure function in workflow_engine.py - replace with ast.literal_eval
- S105: Hardcoded password patterns requiring secure configuration
4. **Systematic Approach**:
- Apply logical operator optimization for improved readability and performance
- Implement comprehensive logging patterns for all exception handling
- Replace insecure functions with secure alternatives
- Maintain enterprise API quality standards throughout

## 🔧 Implementation Strategy & Specifications
**Logic Optimization Patterns:**
1. **SIM114 Pattern**: Combine `if condition1:` and `elif condition2:` with same body using `if condition1 or condition2:`
2. **SIM102 Pattern**: Consolidate nested if statements using logical operators for better readability
3. **Performance Focus**: Ensure optimizations improve both readability and execution efficiency
**Logging Enhancement Patterns:**
1. **S110 Pattern**: Transform `except: pass` → `except Exception as e: logger.warning(f"Operation failed: {e}", extra=context)`
