- Memory leak detection (24-hour runs)
- Race condition stress testing
### Security Testing
- Path traversal penetration testing
- Buffer overflow attack simulations
- Regex ReDoS pathological inputs
- Rate limiting bypass attempts
### Performance Testing

---
## Risk Mitigation
### High-Risk Changes
1. **Connection Pool Mutex** (RACE_CONDITION_001)
- Risk: Performance overhead, potential deadlock
- Mitigation: Extensive load testing, timeout guards
- Rollback: Feature flag for old implementation
2. **Path Validation** (BUG-001)
- Risk: False positives breaking valid paths
- Mitigation: Comprehensive test suite with real-world paths
- Rollback: Relaxed validation with warnings
3. **Buffer Limits** (BUG-003)
- Risk: Legitimate large responses rejected
- Mitigation: Monitor production response sizes
- Rollback: Configurable MAX_BUFFER_SIZE
### Deployment Strategy
1. **Phase 1-2:** Deploy to staging → 24hr soak → canary 5% → 100%
2. **Phase 3-4:** Deploy to staging → load test → canary 10% → 100%
3. **Phase 5:** Deploy to staging → quick validation → 100%

- Performance maintained or improved
- Security hardened significantly
**Dependencies:**
- All fixes use built-in Node.js APIs
- No new external dependencies
- Existing test framework sufficient
**Timeline Flexibility:**
- Critical fixes (Phase 1-2) non-negotiable on Day 1
- High/Medium fixes can extend to Day 8 if needed
- Low fixes can be deferred if timeline tight
