**Known Issues**: - BubbleTea interface compliance requires careful pointer receiver implementation - Worker pool sizing affects memory usage and performance - Lock ordering must be consistent across all components to prevent deadlocks - Test coverage gap (3.8%) insufficient for race condition validation - **Edge Cases**: - TUI shutdown during process cleanup requires graceful handling - EventBus overload scenarios need fallback to synchronous processing - Process Manager startup/shutdown race conditions during system boot - MCP session cleanup during connection failures - **Performance**: - Expected 5-10% overhead from synchronization primitives - Memory usage increase from bounded worker pools and channels - Potential latency increase in high-concurrency scenarios - **Backwards Compatibility**: - TUI interface changes are internal - no external API impact - Configuration may require new options for worker pool sizing - Build commands updated for race detection in CI - **Security**: - Race conditions eliminated prevent timing attack vulnerabilities - Proper synchronization prevents data corruption security issues - Resource exhaustion prevention through bounded goroutine pools ## Definition of Done ✅ ACHIEVED -
