Users think data saved but it's not - Complete data loss scenario - Location: mcp_backend.py:80-94 2. **MEMORY-3:** Race condition in memory store (CRITICAL) - Multiple instances overwrite each other - Data corruption - Location: mcp_backend.py (entire MemoryStore class) 3. **GUI-14:** Log viewer performance (HIGH) - Clears/rebuilds entire log every second - GUI freezes with large logs - Location: gui_main_pro.py:1719-1726 4. **GUI-1:** PopOutWindow old color scheme (HIGH) - Uses outdated colors (#667eea instead of NeoCyberColors) - Visual inconsistency - Location: gui_main_pro.py:797-856 5. **MEMORY-4:** Timestamp collisions (HIGH) - 16% collision rate in rapid calls - Chats overwrite each other - Location: mcp_backend.py:851 6. **Backend-5:** Race condition in approval file handling (CRITICAL in original list) - No file locking - Data corruption risk - Location: mcp_backend.py:336-388 7. **Backend-3:** Memory leak in log viewer (HIGH in original list) -
